Summary

Lymphedema is a chronic, progressive, and debilitating condition that occurs with disruption or obstruction of the lymphatic system, which commonly occurs a result of breast cancer therapy. The purpose of this study is to determine if the use of a low risk lymphatic reconstruction procedure at the time of axillary lymph node dissection will reduce the risk of developing lymphedema.

Additionally, to determine if this procedure improves objective outcomes of lymphedema and patient quality of life

Conditions

  • Lymphedema, Breast Cancer
