A Prospective Validation Study of Bioimpedance with Volume Displacement in Early-Stage Breast Cancer Patients at Risk for Lymphedema

摘要

BACKGROUNDAlthough volume displacement (VD) is considered the gold standard for diagnosing breast cancer (BC)-related lymphedema, it is inconvenient. We compared bioimpedance (L-Dex) and VD measurements in a prospective cohort of BC patients at risk for lymphedema.
