Lymphovenous bypass to prevent arm lymphedema after axillary lymph node removal
This study will try adding a lymphovenous bypass during axillary lymph node dissection to see if it prevents or slows arm lymphedema in adults with breast cancer compared with physiotherapy alone.
-
Program to prevent lymphedema after breast cancer surgery
This study is testing a prevention program to help women who have breast cancer surgery avoid lymphedema by using treatments like lymphatic massage and special garments.
-
Comparing lymphaticovenous anastomosis to sham surgery for cancer-related lymphedema
This study is testing if a new surgery for cancer-related lymphedema can help people feel better compared to a fake surgery.
-
BioBridge plus vascularized lymph node transfer for arm lymphedema
This trial will test whether adding a BioBridge scaffold to vascularized lymph node transfer helps people with upper-arm lymphedema drain fluid and reduce swelling.
-
Screening for Breast Cancer-Related Lymphedema in Targeted Therapy
This study tests whether targeted breast cancer therapies are linked to lymphedema by tracking arm volume and symptoms in women undergoing treatment.
-
Reconstructive lymphatic surgery for treating lymphoedema
This study tests if adding reconstructive lymphatic surgery to regular treatment can help people with lymphoedema in their arms or legs feel better and improve their quality of life.
-
Dayspring wearable compression for breast cancer–related arm lymphedema after lymphatic surgery
This study will test whether the Dayspring wearable compression system helps move lymph and reduce arm swelling in adults with breast cancer–related lymphedema after lymphatic surgery.
