Study Summary

This trial studies how an investigational surgical procedure called vascularized lymph node transfer works in lowering the risk of arm swelling (lymphedema) in patients with breast cancer undergoing breast reconstruction. Patients who undergo breast reconstruction are often at high risk of developing lymphedema. Vascularized lymph node transfer involves transferring lymph nodes from an unaffected area of the body to replace those removed as part of treatment, which may lower the risk of lymphedema after breast reconstruction.

Primary Outcome

Summary statistics such as means, standard deviations, median and range for continuous variables, and frequencies and percentages for categorical variables will be reported. The rate of lymphedema and its 95% exact confidence interval will be estimated.
