The pattern of arm lymphatic drainage and subclinical lymphedema progression after axillary lymph node dissection: a prospective cohort study
The lymphatic drainage pattern of the arm will mainly drain into the internal mammary and clavicular nodes after ALND. A substantial number of subclinical cases progressing to early-stage BCRL can be detected by ICG-L within the first year. This finding could be used to develop strategies for BCRL prevention.
