First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Jun 16, 2026 · Updated 26 times

Summary

This study gathers feedback from 260 breast cancer patients who had lymph nodes removed. Researchers want to know how patients feel about using a perometer (a device that measures arm size) to screen for lymphedema, a common side effect causing arm swelling and pain. The goal is to improve screening programs, not to test a new treatment.
