Summary
This study tests a surgical procedure called vascularized lymph node transfer to lower the risk of lymphedema (arm swelling) in breast cancer patients having breast reconstruction. About 30 women who have already had mastectomy, lymph node removal, and radiation will receive this extra surgery. Researchers will compare how many develop lymphedema versus similar patients who did not get the procedure.
