Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to analyze body composition changes in breast cancer patients who developed lymphedema soon after surgery, looking for early indicators to help prevent its progression.
- 219 patients were monitored using bioelectrical impedance analysis before and after surgery to assess changes in body composition in those with and without lymphedema.
- Results showed that significant changes in body composition occurred in patients who developed lymphedema by the six-month mark, suggesting these changes could serve as useful early screening indicators for preventative interventions.
