Risk of Lymphedema Following Contemporary Treatment for Breast Cancer An Analysis of 7617 Consecutive Patients From a Multidisciplinary Perspective

Hwa Kyung Byun et al.

Summary: This study identified risk factors for lymphedema in breast cancer patients and constructed nomograms to predict individual risk of lymphedema. Results showed that deintensifying node dissection, chemotherapy regimen, and field and dose of radiotherapy can decrease lymphedema risk. Multidisciplinary deescalation strategies may minimize lymphedema risk.

A randomized study to prevent lymphedema in women treated for breast cancer: CALGB 70305 (Alliance)

Electra D. Paskett et al.

Summary: The study compared the impact of education-only intervention and education plus sleeve compression/exercise intervention on lymphedema incidence and range of motion in breast cancer patients. The results showed no significant difference in lymphedema-free rates between the two groups at 18 months, with better range of motion in the LEAP group.

Subclinical Lymphedema After Treatment for Breast Cancer: Risk of Progression and Considerations for Early Intervention

Loryn K. Bucci et al.

Summary: The study shows that patients with subclinical lymphedema (SCL) after axillary nodal surgery for breast cancer are more likely to progress to breast cancer-related lymphedema (BCRL) than those who do not experience SCL. Early intervention presents a significant opportunity to prevent BCRL and improve the quality of life for women undergoing breast cancer treatment.

Development and Psychometric Validation of a Patient-Reported Outcome Measure for Arm Lymphedema: The LYMPH-Q Upper Extremity Module

Anne F. Klassen et al.

Summary: A comprehensive patient-reported outcome measure (LYMPH-Q Upper Extremity Module) for arm lymphedema in women with breast cancer was developed and validated through a multiphased mixed-methods study. Six independently functioning scales were created to measure various aspects of arm lymphedema. Analysis using Rasch measurement theory showed good reliability and validity, with lower scores on the scales associated with more severe arm swelling, arm problems caused by cancer and/or its treatment, and arm sleeve usage.
