Who and Why do Patients Report Lymphedema After Breast Cancer Treatment Without an Objective Measurable Swelling

"Assessments related to different types of breast cancer related lymphedema at arm (1. self-reported swelling at arm, 2. subjective arm lymphedema, 3. objective arm lymphedema) using the Norman questionnaire, volume measurements (volumetry and perimetry), bioimpedance spectroscopy, and bioimpedance analysis~Assessments related to different types of breast cancer related lymphedema at trunk/ breast (1. self-reported swelling at trunk/ breast, 2. subjective trunk/ breast lymphedema, 3. objective trunk/ breast lymphedema) using the Norman questionnaire, tissue dielectric measurements, and ultrasonography"

Clinical assessments related to lymphatic problems (1. amount of swelling at arm by relative arm volume difference, 2. amount of swelling at trunk by percentage water ratio, 3. severity of dermal rerouting at upper limb and trunk by lymphofluoroscopy (i.e., near-infrared fluorescence imaging device)

Clinical measurements related to nociceptive, neuropathic and central sensory problems based on the Quantitative Sensory Testing principles using different devices algometer, goniometer, standardized set of monofilaments, and neurosensory analyzer
