New study tests quick scan to spot swelling in cancer patients
NCT ID NCT07443618
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study explores whether a device that sends a tiny, safe electrical current through the body can better track fluid retention (edema) in cancer patients. Researchers will measure 46 people—breast cancer patients with arm swelling after radiation and others with leg swelling after chemotherapy. Participants will also give blood and urine samples and track their diet and weight. The goal is to find a more accurate, non-invasive way to monitor this common side effect.

Inclusion Criteria (Outpatient breast cancer patients with lymphoedema after radiotherapy): * Habile * Must be able to speak and read Danish * Has received/is receiving radiotherapy due to breast cancer within the last 6 months * Is being followed in the Oncology Outpatient Clinic at Aalborg University Hospital * Age ≥ 18 years * Visible lymphoedema in at least one upper extremity Inclusion Criteria (Hospitalized cancer patients with peripheral oedema in one or both lower extremities after chemotherapy): * Habile * Must be able to speak and read Danish * Has received/is receiving chemotherapy due to cancer within the last 2 months * Hospitalised in the Oncology Ward at Aalborg University Hospital * Estimated length of hospital stay of at least 6 days * Age ≥ 18 years * Visible peripheral oedema in at least one lower extremity Exclusion Criteria (both groups): * Pregnant or breastfeeding women * Amputated limb(s) * Pacemaker or implanted cardioverter-defibrillator due to risk of interference from the electrical signal * Metallic prostheses due to risk of interference with the device signal * Inability to lie still for the duration of the measurement interval (minimum 2 minutes at a time) * Inability to stand on a scale, i.e. permanently bedridden. * Inability to cooperate with urine collection * Receiving dialysis * Terminal illness
