Popis: Introduction Lymphoedema develops after surgery in 30% patients. In a prospective, multi-centre UK study, we used a validated perometer arm measurement to determine 1) the factors predicting lymphoedema development and 2) the effect of a lymphoedema diagnosis on QoL and survival. Methods Participants (n = 1100) undergoing axillary clearance at 9 centres underwent arm volume measurements pre and post-surgery by perometry, and completed FACT-B+4 and Lymphoedema checklist questionnaires. Relative arm volume increase (RAVI) of >10% diagnosed lymphoedema. Predictors of lymphoedema development were determined using logistic regression, and changes in QoL were assessed using Generalised Estimating Equation (GEE) analyses. Results Median patient age was 56 (range 22 to 90) years; 78% received radiotherapy and 65% chemotherapy. Lymphoedema was detected in 21.4% of women by perometry and 24.4% underwent sleeve application by 24 months. Initial decreases in QoL scores post-surgery were greater in patients with lymphoedema and took longer to return to baseline values (FACT-B p=0.014, TOI p=0.008, ARM subscale p RAVI at 1 month (p25-≤30 and >30, p=0.05), ER status (p=0.05) and number of positive nodes (p Local recurrence was 1.7%. One hundred and twenty-nine patients had died of breast cancer (n=88) or had distant recurrence (n=41) across the study. Lymphoedema (RAVI≥10%) by 9 months was an independent predictor of post 9 months distant disease-free cancer survival (Table).

Women at low risk of lymphoedema (75%) can be reassured using the scoring model. Early Arm measurements at 1 month post-surgery a useful measurement time to determine lymphoedema risk and enable patients to be reassured (75%) or plan for lymphoedema monitoring.
