BACKGROUND: Early detection and intervention for breast cancer-related lymphedema (BCRL) significantly decreases progression to persistent BCRL (pBCRL). We aimed to provide long-term follow-up on our early detection with bioimpedance spectroscopy (BIS) and early home intervention demonstrating reduced pBCRL to guide surveillance recommendations.
PATIENTS AND METHODS: In total, 148 female patients with breast cancer who had axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) from November 2014 to December 2017 were analyzed. Baseline BIS measurements and postoperative follow-up occurred every 3 months for 1 year, biannual for 1 year, and then annually. An elevated BIS triggered evaluation and initiation of at-home interventions with reassessment for resolution versus persistent BCRL (pBCRL). High-risk factors and timing were analyzed.
RESULTS: Mean follow-up was 55 months, and 65 (44%) patients had an abnormal BIS. Of these, 54 (82%) resolved with home intervention. The overall pBCRL rate was 8%. Average time to first abnormal BIS was 11.7 months. None of the stage 0 patients (0/34) and only 5/25 (20%) of stage 1 patients had pBCRL. All of stage 2 and stage 3 patients (7/7) had pBCRL. pBCRL correlated with number of positive nodes, percentage of positive nodes, stage of lymphedema at diagnosis, and recurring abnormal BIS measurements (p < 0.05).
CONCLUSIONS: We have shown that patients undergoing ALND with early BCRL identified by BIS who performed home interventions had an 8% pBCRL rate. Patients at high risk for pBCRL should have routine surveillance starting at 9 months postoperatively to identify an opportunity for early intervention.
