Local Tissue Water Variations in Women at Risk of Developing Arm Lymphedema Following Breast Cancer Treatment—A Retrospective Study
At both follow-ups, LTW was higher in the contralateral arm at specific sites compared to the ipsilateral arm and decreased at specific sites in both arms during oncological treatment. The calculated TDC thresholds may improve detection of BCRAL and enhance the interpretation of lymphedema status during oncological treatment.
