Purpose

To see if using a surgical technique called Axillary Reverse Mapping during surgery to remove lymph nodes from your underarm area (axillary lymph node dissection) prevents lymphedema.

Who is this for?

Women with stage I, stage II, or stage III breast cancer who have not yet had surgery. Full eligibility criteria
