Prospective Screening for Breast Cancer-related Lymphedema

Lymphedema

The primary objectives of this study are twofold: 1) to detect and determine the level of symptoms, functional disability, and changes in quality of life that breast cancer patients experience from changes in their arms during and after treatment for breast cancer by collecting patient reported outcome measures, objective measurements, and clinical information in a prospectively maintained database and 2) to improve breast cancer-related lymphedema outcomes by early detection using objective measurements and symptoms assessments and assess these outcomes by maintaining the data in a database in order to contribute to the literature. The secondary aim of this study is to assess extracellular fluid content in the upper extremity, breast, and/or trunk of patients treated for breast cancer before, during, and after treatment in order to better understand the role of bioimpedance spectroscopy in lymphedema screening.

Assessment of Breast Cancer-Related Arm Lymphedema

Breast Cancer

Lymphedema is a serious complication of breast cancer treatment. Reported prevalence of lymphedema following treatment for breast cancer varies, ranging from 7-45%. The reason for the wide variation in the reported incidence of lymphedema is the different measurement techniques used and the absence of an agreed diagnostic criteria. Nowadays, the common method include limb circumference measurement、volume measurement、bioimpedance spectroscopy (BIS) and self-report. Each of these methods has advantages and disadvantages. A variety of publications have demonstrated the ability of bioimpedance to diagnose subclinical lymphedema. As a new method for detecting lymphedema, some study have also shown indocyanine green(ICG)lymphography can have a certain value for the detection of subclinical lymphedema. Early detection can reduce the incidence of late-stage lymphedema in postoperative patients. Therefore, we want to explore the ability of these methods. We are going to perform baseline arm circumference measurements and bioelectrical impedance measurements for all preoperative breast cancer patients in our center. In addition, the arm circumference measurement、volume measurement、bioimpedance spectroscopy (BIS) 、self-report and indocyanine green (ICG) lymphography will be performed on patients who go to the lymphedema clinic after breast cancer surgery. First, we want to establish the threshold and reference value range based on the impedance value of patients with lymphedema and people without lymphedema.Second, we are going to examine the relationship between the most commonly used methods of lymphedema and also to test which method is more sensitive for the diagnosis of clinical and subclinical lymphedema. Finally, we want to explore the ability of ICG lymphography in detecting sub-clinical lymphedema.

Patient Experiences With the COVID-19 Vaccination After Breast Cancer Treatment

Breast Cancer Related LymphedemaCovid19

This study aims to elicit patient experiences, choices, and side effects associated with the COVID-19 vaccine after breast cancer surgery. Lymph node swelling is a known and common side effect of both the Moderna and Pfizer COVID-19 vaccines. This is the body's normal reaction to the vaccine. It is worrisome that lymph node swelling after the vaccine mimics that found in breast cancer which has spread to the lymph nodes. This side effect will cause worry and anxiety amongst patients as a result. For patients who have had lymph node removal (axillary lymph node dissection or sentinel lymph node biopsy) and are at risk of lymphedema, the investigators are concerned that the lymph node swelling may tax the lymphatic system and incite lymphedema in those at risk or worsen it in those with BCRL. Fear of lymphedema is high in this population and the investigators need to better understand what risk, if any, lymph node swelling after the COVID-19 vaccine imparts to BCRL risk.

A Pilot Study Assessing the Effect of Lymphaticovenous Micro-Anastomosis in the Treatment of Postmastectomy...

LymphedemaPost Mastectomy

This study will assess the impact of lymphaticovenous microanastomosis in volume reduction of postmastectomy upper extremity lymphedema. We hypothesize that multiple lymphaticovenous micro-anastomosis in the distal arm will result in the reduction of volume and improvement in quality of life of patients with post-mastectomy lymphedema

The 24 Hour Effects of Remedial Exercises With and Without Compression Therapy on Breast Cancer-related...

LymphedemaBreast Cancer

The aim of this study to investigate 24 hours of effects of remedial exercises with and without compression therapy on severity of lymphedema and symptoms of the lymphedema The present study is designed as a non-drug clinical trial. The patients will complete two remedial exercise sessions, one without and one with compression in a randomized order separated by a 3-day wash-out period.The main questions it aims to answer are The 24 hour effects of remedial exercises with and without compression therapy on the severity of lymphedema are different in individuals with lymphedema associated with breast cancer surgery. The 24 hour effects of remedial exercises with and without compression therapy on the symptoms of lymphedema are different in individuals with lymphedema associated with breast cancer surgery.

New Therapeutic Approach in Upper Limb Lymphedema Secondary to Breast Cancer: Activity-oriented...

Breast Cancer LymphedemaPost-Mastectomy Secondary Lymphedema

This study evaluates the effectiveness of an experimental proposal therapy for upper limb lymphedema secondary to breast called Activity-oriented proprioceptive antiedema therapy (TAPA) facing the consensual gold standard treatment, the complete decongestive therapy. TAPA consists in: Health education / patient empowerment. Neurodynamic activities oriented to Activities of Daily Living (ADL). Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation exercises oriented to ADL. Self-adherent self-adhesive antiedema of low compression. Half of patients will receive TAPA treatment while the other half will receive CDT standard treatment.
