Summary
This study tests whether closely monitoring for early signs of lymphedema (arm swelling) after breast cancer surgery and treating it right away can prevent long-term swelling. About 250 women who had lymph nodes removed will be randomly assigned to either the monitoring program or usual care. The goal is to see if early action reduces the number of women who develop chronic lymphedema.
