Summary

This completed study followed 40 women who had standard surgery for gynecologic cancers (endometrial, cervical, ovarian, or fallopian tube). Researchers measured changes in quality of life and checked for lower limb lymphedema (leg swelling). The goal was to learn how surgery affects daily life, not to test a new treatment.
