Brief Title: Reverse Axillary Mapping in Breast Radiation Treatment Planning
Official Title: Reverse Axillary Mapping as a Lymphedema Prevention Strategy in Breast Radiation Treatment Planning
Study ID: NCT04292860
Brief Summary: The goal of this prospective study is to investigate the role of axillary reverse mapping (ARM) in radiation therapy planning of patients with breast cancer. Lymphedema is a common side effect after surgery and radiation therapy for breast cancer. The use of ARM is becoming more routine in surgery to differentiate the upper extremity lymphatics (UELs) from the breast axillary drainage to preferentially spare the UELs and reduce the rates of lymphedema.
