Summary

This study follows 1,250 women who have had lymph nodes removed during breast cancer surgery to see how many develop lymphedema (arm swelling). Researchers will also look at breast tissue removed during surgery for signs of inflammation that might raise risk. Participants will answer questions about how lymphedema affects their daily life. The goal is to find better ways to detect and manage this condition early.
