Brief Summary:
Breast cancer related lymphedema (BRCL) is a common complication following breast cancer treatment. The incidence of BRCL ranges from 6-50%, depending on the surgical procedure in the axilla and the type of the radiation therapy. BRCL can causes cosmetic deformities, impaired physical mobility, mental discomfort, reduced quality of life and erysipelas. Therapy of BRCL is divided into conservative and operative methods. However, all the above method has some shortcomings. It is urgent to investigate new approaches to treat BRCL. In this study, fat grafting is to be used for the treatment of BRCL, and the efficacy and safety of this method will be also assessed.

Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Change in arm volume [ Time Frame: Baseline, 3 months, 6months and 12 months ]
    All the patients who received treatment are scanned by 3 dimensional camera, then the volume measurement of the affected and normal arm is managed by software


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Change in tissue edema [ Time Frame: Baseline, 3 months, 6months and 12 months ]
    The affected and normal arms of the patients who received treatment are assessed by multi-frequency bioelectrical impedance analysis

  2. The function of the lymphatic vessel [ Time Frame: Baseline, 3 months, 6months and 12 months ]
    The affected arms of the patients who received treatment was assessed by indocyanine green lymphography

  3. Side effects of treatment [ Time Frame: Baseline, 3 months, 6months and 12 months ]
    Any side effects of experimental treatment. The patients who received treatment are asked at each visit

  4. Change in quality of life [ Time Frame: Baseline and 12 months ]
    The patients who received treatment are asked to fill in a questionnaire (EQ-5D- 5 L-questionnaire)
