LymphaTech Scanner for Breast Cancer-Related Lymphedema Screening
Trial Status: closed to accrual
This trial investigates how well the LymphaTech scanner works for early detection of breast cancer-related lymphedema compared to perometry. Breast cancer-related lymphedema is characterized by an abnormal build up of protein-rich fluid in the interstitial tissues due to improper drainage within the lymphatic system. This build up may cause swelling of the arm, trunk, breast, and/or shoulder in the side treated for breast cancer. LymphaTech scanner may help doctors find breast cancer-related lymphedema sooner, when it may be easier to treat.
