Lymphedema Surveillance Study
This study is being done to find out how many women develop lymphedema after an axillary lymph node dissection. The investigators also want to look for reasons why some women get lymphedema and others don't. Specifically, the investigators want to do tests on the breast tissue that is removed at …
A Real World, Observational Registry of Chronic Wounds and Ulcers
More than 100 hospital based outpatient wound centers in the USA and Puerto Rico agree to transmit structured data on all patients followed with chronic wounds and ulcers (e.g. diabetic foot ulcers, venous ulcers, pressure ulcers, arterial ulcers, surgical wounds, and traumatic wounds). Data are collected at point of care …
Early Diagnosis of Breast Cancer-related Lymphedema
This study will conduct clinical trials to explore the mechanisms behind the development of upper limb lymphedema following breast cancer surgery. The investigators will recruit patients who have undergone breast cancer surgery and utilize Indocyanine Green (ICG) lymphography and Lymphoscintigraphy to identify the locations of lymphatic blockages. Shear Wave Elastography …
Pyroptosis and Ferroptosis in the Pathophysiology of Lymphedema
The project aims to compare the differences in the expression of cell death through apoptosis and iron-dependent cell death after the reduction of edema symptoms following lymphedema surgery in patients.
Gut Microbiota in Patients With Limb Lymphedema and Recurrent Lymphangitis
Lymphedema is a chronic and progressive disease of the lymphatic vessels which affects about 300 million people worldwide. Patients may experience recurrent soft tissue infection of the limb affected by lymphedema, in terms of erysipelas, lymphangitis or cellulitis. No previous study has ever investigated the possible role of the gut …
An Integrated Algorithm for Surgical Intervention in Chronic Lymphedema After Breast Cancer Treatment: The Basel Lymphedema Protocol
The primary objective of the investigators is to develop an integrated algorithm for surgical treatment of chronic lymphedema after breast cancer surgery. This will be achieved by retrospectively analysing a subgroup of patients who had breast cancer-related surgery prior to lymphedema.
Lymphedema After Urologic Surgery
Lymphedema of the extremities is common after lymph node surgery in treating several forms of cancer, e.g., breast cancer. However, very little is known of the occurrence of lymphedema of the lower extremities after urologic surgery with lymph node dissection. This project aims to describe the frequency and grade of …
Lymphoedema and Nocturia/Nocturnal Polyuria After Pelvic LND for Urogenital Cancer
After the treatment of urogenital cancer, a person may develop lymphoedema of the leg(s) and/ or midline region. Clinical symptoms include abnormal tissue swelling, sensation of limb heaviness, erythema, pain, and impaired limb function. Lymphoedema can have a negative impact on quality of life (QoL) and the impact of lymphoedema …
Lymphedema Sensor Technology Development Study
The goal of this clinical trial in adult patients diagnosed with upper extremity lymphedema is to test the safety and effectiveness of small, wearable sensors that may be able to measure lymphedema. The main questions this study aims to answer are: Do these sensors detect lymphedema? If so, how accurate …
A Non-randomized, Open-Label Study to Evaluate the Safety and Effectiveness of Insight® Pro Device for Evaluating Lymphatic and Venous Disorders (VOLGA)
To demonstrate that the Insight Pro Device is safe and effective for use in detecting lymphatic and venous disorders.
