Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to compare the detection rates of breast cancer-related lymphedema (BCRL) using two methods: perometer and circumferential measurements, in patients who had breast cancer surgery.
  • A total of 101 female patients were monitored over 12 months, revealing that 34.7% showed signs of subclinical BCRL using circumferential measures, while 23.8% did so via perometer, with no significant difference in quality of life or functionality between those with and without subclinical lymphedema.
  • The researchers recommend regular monitoring for BCRL by the same healthcare provider and educating patients to enable early detection and intervention.
