Evaluation of Skin Viscoelasticity in Breast Cancer-Related Lymphedema—Relationship with Subcutaneous Thickening and Fluid Retention
Ur was not significantly associated with tissue thickness, suggesting its sensitivity to lymphatic fluid accumulation. Ur may be a sensitive indicator for detecting subcutaneous fluid retention in BCRL. As a noninvasive parameter, it could complement current diagnostic tools and may be useful for longitudinal BCRL monitoring.
