MCMichelle CoriddiJDJoseph H. DayanEBE. Bloomfield

Key Points

  • The aim is to assess the impact of immediate lymphatic reconstruction on breast cancer-related lymphedema incidence after axillary lymph node dissection.
  • Conducted as a randomized controlled trial with an accrual goal of 174 patients.
  • Follow-up duration is 24 months post-intervention.
  • Preliminary results indicate a decrease in breast cancer-related lymphedema incidence after immediate lymphatic reconstruction.

Preliminary results of our RCT show that ILR after ALND decreases BCRL incidence. Our goal is to finish the accrual of 174 patients with 24-month follow-up.
