Background: Although reproducibility studies are missing, a lymphoscintigraphic evaluation of the upper limb is often used in routine practice to diagnose lymphedema and in clinical research, for example, to investigate the effect of a physical treatment. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to investigate the reproducibility of the lymphoscintigraphic evaluation of the upper limb.
Methods And Results: In breast cancer patients, 20 lymphoscintigraphic evaluations of the upper limb were performed on two test occasions with an interval of 1 week.
