No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Breast lymphedema (swelling due to fluid) is a common complication of breast cancer therapy. Unlike lymphedema in the arm, breast lymphedema is not as well-known and has not been studied. At present, no objective and standardized tools exist to evaluate breast lymphedema.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the use of ultrasound analysis and bio-impedance to determine if it is possible to measure the extent of the fluid in the breast.
