New study aims to predict which lymphedema patients benefit from surgery
NCT ID NCT07614815
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study will test whether special imaging scans (ICG lymphography and high-frequency ultrasound) can predict how well a surgery called lymphaticovenous anastomosis works for arm swelling after breast cancer treatment. Thirty women with mild to moderate lymphedema will be scanned before surgery, and their outcomes will be tracked. The goal is to find imaging clues that point to a successful recovery.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
lymphaticovenous anastomosis (surgery)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could help doctors better predict which patients will benefit from lymphaticovenous anastomosis surgery for arm swelling after breast cancer.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 30 participants. The imaging methods may not reliably predict surgical outcomes, and results may not apply to all patients.
