First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looks at two ways to treat early-stage lymphedema (arm swelling) in women who have had breast cancer surgery. It uses a special device to detect fluid buildup before swelling is visible. About 267 women will be monitored for three years after surgery. If early swelling is found, they will receive one of two treatments to see which works better to reverse the condition.
