Effect of Preoperative Exercise on the Prevention of Secondary Lymphedema in Breast Cancer Patients
Research purpose: Lymphedema is a very common complication in breast cancer patients. However, since there is currently no curable treatment, it is important to prevent and reduce the severity of lymphedema. The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether preoperative exercise is effective in preventing lymphedema after surgery. For …
The LYMPH Trial - Surgical Versus Conservative Complex Physical Decongestion Therapy for Chronic Breast Cancer-Related Lymphedema
The aim of this study is to test whether lymphatic surgery provides better QoL (assessed with the Lymph-ICF-UL, (Lymphedema Functioning Disability and health questionnaire for upper limb lymphedema)) 15 months after randomization (and therefore about one year after surgery) compared to conservative treatment only for patients with chronic lymphedema (LE)
Effects of Complex Decongestive Therapy on Proprioception, Balance and Tactile Sense
The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of complex decongestive physiotherapy (CDP) on propriseception, balance and sensation in patients with secondary lymphedema that develops in the lower extremities after cancer surgery.
Effect of Complex Decongestive Therapy, Cryotherapy and Kinesio Taping in Patients With Post-mastectomy Lymphedema: A Randomized Control Trial
To examine the efficacy of complex decongestive therapy (CDT), cryotherapy and kinesio taping (KT) in patients with post-mastectomy lymphedema
Lymphovenous Bypass Procedure Before Underarm Lymph Node Surgery in Preventing Lymphedema in Patients With Inflammatory or Locally Advanced Non-inflammatory Breast Cancer or Melanoma
This pilot trial studies whether a procedure called lymphovenous bypass would prevent lymphedema (arm swelling) in patients with inflammatory breast cancer or non-inflammatory breast cancer that has spread to nearby tissues or lymph nodes or melanoma. The lymphovenous bypass procedure creates a path for lymphatic fluid to flow away from …
Novel MRI Techniques on Evaluation of Lymphedema
In this project, the investigators aim to investigate the imaging approaches for breast cancer-related secondary lymphedema. The clinical study aims to optimize the conventional MRI methods for mapping lymphedema and assess the post-surgical therapeutic effects in longitudinal follow-up studies. Additionally, a normal imaging database of lymphedema MRI images will be …
International Lymphatic Disease and Lymphedema Registry
The purpose of the International Lymphatic Disease and Lymphedema Patient Registry and Biorepository is to collect health information in order to study the disease classification, natural history, and impact of Lymphatic Disease, Lymphedema and Related Disorders and its treatments and medical outcomes.
Prospective Screening for Breast Cancer-related 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, …
A Study Comparing Quality of Life in Patients With Lymphedema Who Undergo Surgical Treatment Versus Non-Surgical Management
This study is being done to see the long-term results for patients who choose to have surgery for lymphedema (with the vascularized lymph node transfer), compared to patients who choose not to have surgery.
Subclinical Monitoring of Lymphatic Function in Oncology Patients for Lymphoedema Prevention (ONCOLYMPH)
Lymphoedema, a chronic condition caused by the accumulation of protein-rich fluid in the intercellular spaces due to impaired lymphatic function, is a common complication in cancer patients. It can lead to visible swelling, discomfort, and mobility issues, but most frequently affects the limbs. This condition not only impacts patients physically …
