Résumé de l'étude

The study investigates whether surgical treatment of chronic breast cancer-associated lymphedema improves the quality of life of participants compared to conservative therapy alone.

(BASEC)

Intervention étudiée

Surgery for lymphedema

(BASEC)

Maladie en cours d'investigation

chronic breast cancer-associated lymphedema

(BASEC)

Critères de participation
- Written informed consent. - Patients ≥ 18 years with prior treatment for breast cancer. - At least one of the following prior breast cancer treatments: biopsy of the lymph node, axillary lymph node removal, radiation therapy of the chest wall or axilla, or breast cancer surgery. (BASEC)

Critères d'exclusion
