NCT ID NCT05255393
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 111 people who had surgery for early-stage cervical or vulvar cancer to find out how many develop lower leg swelling (lymphedema). Researchers used a questionnaire to gather information, not to test any new treatment. The goal is to better identify who is at risk and improve the information given to patients before surgery.
