New surgery aims to stop debilitating swelling before it starts
NCT ID NCT07227467
Summary
This study is testing a new surgical technique called Immediate Lymphatic Reconstruction (ILR). The goal is to prevent lymphedema, a painful and chronic swelling of the arm that can occur after breast cancer surgery. During the initial cancer operation, surgeons will try to reconnect cut lymphatic channels to a nearby vein to restore fluid drainage. Researchers will measure arm size, fluid levels, and patient-reported pain and function to see if this approach works.
