Reveals the impact of lymphatic anatomy on breast cancer-related lymphedema risk, suggesting new prevention strategies.
Upper extremity lymphatic drainage to the lateral and tricipital pathways is enabled exclusively by the dorsal forearm channels suggesting their importance in BCRL risk. Variations of upper extremity lymphatic anatomy are relevant to the risk, prevention, and treatment of breast cancer-related lymphedema risk and warrant further study.
