Study Summary

This randomized pilot clinical trial studies arm circumference measurement with or without bioimpedance spectroscopy in finding extra lymph node fluid build up in the arm (lymphedema) early in patients with stage I-III breast cancer undergoing lymph node dissection or sentinel node biopsy. Diagnostic procedures, such as bioimpedance spectroscopy, may allow doctors to find and diagnose lymphedema earlier than arm circumference measurement alone.

Primary Outcome

Rates of enhanced lymphedema detection will be compared between the enhanced versus standard detection groups with the Fisher's exact test. Adjustment for potential imbalances in patient characteristics will be accomplished by fitting logistic and Cox proportional hazards regression models. \*\*\* Study was terminated because PI left the institution. Study coordinator also left the institution. No data was analyzed. Participants' baseline records not available.\*\*\*
