In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

Radiotherapy after breast cancer surgery can lead to side effects like arm lymphedema (arm swelling). Lymphedema can cause long-term discomfort and affect quality of life. The goal of this clinical investigation is to determine whether using an artificial intelligence (AI) tool to predict the risk of developing arm lymphedema after breast cancer radiotherapy can help patients and physicians make better treatment decisions. This AI tool has been developed to determine each patient's personalized risk of developing lymphedema. The risk is shown using a web app that explains the factors involved and offers suggestions like using a compression sleeve to reduce the risk. Women (≥18 years) with breast cancer (cT1-4, cN0-N3, M0) requiring regional lymph node irradiation post-mastectomy or breast-conserving surgery are eligible, regardless of hormone receptor status, tumor grade, or HER2 stat

Patient who has an indication for boost to one or more regional nodes 5. Previous radiation therapy to the chest region 6. Patients having arm swelling requiring arm sleeve prescription at baseline 7. Any condition that prevents the patient from wearing a compression sleeve for 8h/day from the first day of radiation therapy until 3 months after the initiation of adjuvant radiotherapy 8. Pregnant or breastfeeding women 9. Patient already included in another therapeutic study involving radiotherapy dose/regimen/technique and/or arm lymphedema risk 10.
