Total Sealing Technique: A Preliminary Study on a Novel Surgical Approach That Significantly Reduces the Incidence of Upper Extremity Lymphedema Following Axillary Dissection in Patients with Breast Cancer
Open Access
Abstract
The primary goal in treating patients with breast cancer who have positive axillary lymph nodes is to achieve optimal tumor control while minimizing side effects that include breast cancer-related lymphedema (BCRL)Keywords
