Study Summary

The goal of this study is to find out which immune molecules, cells, and genes are involved in the development of lymphedema (LE), so that medicines that target them can be considered for treating lymphedema. The hypothesis is that LE is a systemic, autoimmune-like disease that is initiated by inflammatory cytokines induced by surgery, radiation, and possibly chemotherapy in genetically susceptible patients.
