About this study

In plain language

This study tests whether bioimpedance (BIA), a test that uses electrical signals, can help predict the risk of lymphedema in women with inflammatory breast cancer (IBC). Lymphedema is swelling caused by a buildup of lymph fluid. The study is for women age 18 or older with newly diagnosed IBC who have not had breast or armpit surgery.

To find out whether the BIA test can help identify participants with IBC who are at risk for developing lymphedema.

Compensation is read from the study's own description and may be missing — always confirm with the study team.

Eligibility

Who can join

  • Women age 18 or older.
  • Newly diagnosed with inflammatory breast cancer.
  • Have not had breast or armpit surgery.
  • Able to receive standard treatment: cancer medicine before surgery, surgery to remove the breast and armpit lymph nodes, and radiation therapy.

Who can't join

  • Have had breast or armpit surgery.
  • Have a pacemaker or another electronic medical device inside the body.
  • Have metal implanted in the body.
  • Are in a vulnerable group, including children, pregnant women, and adults with problems with thinking or understanding.
