Factors Associated With Health-related Quality of Life in Patients With Breast Cancer-Related Lymphedema Undergoing Prospective Surveillance

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 10 Sept 2025

Brief summary (registry, in English)

Breast cancer-related lymphedema (BCRL) is a chronic condition that affects more than 1 in 5 breast cancer survivors. It causes swelling, pain, and reduced arm function, which can significantly impact quality of life. This study aims to evaluate how breast cancer survivors perceive their swelling, and whether this perception aligns with actual physical measurements. The investigation will examine how this perception gap relates to quality of life. The findings may help inform the development of more personalized care strategies to support both the physical and emotional well-being of women living with BCRL.
