NCT ID NCT05366699
First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Apr 29, 2026 · Updated 27 times
Summary
This study tests a low-risk surgical procedure called LYMPHA, done at the same time as breast cancer lymph node removal, to prevent lymphedema—a chronic, painful arm swelling. About 80 adults undergoing breast cancer surgery will be randomly assigned to receive LYMPHA or standard care. Researchers will measure arm volume, skin changes, and quality of life to see if the procedure reduces lymphedema risk.
