Summary

This study follows breast cancer patients who are receiving targeted therapy to see if they develop arm swelling, known as lymphedema. Researchers use two devices—a Perometer and a SOZO device—to measure changes in arm volume and fluid levels. The goal is to detect lymphedema early and understand how it develops over time.
