Risk Factors for Lymphedema after Thigh Sarcoma Resection and Reconstruction

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Global Open, 2020
Background:. Secondary lymphedema can be a lifelong and debilitating consequence of lower extremity oncologic resection and reconstruction. The goal of this study was to identify risk factors for the development of lymphedema in patients treated for ...

Acquired lymphedema: Molecular contributors and future directions for developing intervention strategies

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2022
Lymphedema is a debilitating chronic disease that mostly develops as an adverse reaction to cancer treatment modalities such as chemotherapy, surgery, and radiotherapy. Lymphedema also appears to be a deteriorating consequence of roundworm infections, as

A Review of Melanoma Subtypes: Genetic and Treatment Considerations

Journal of Surgical Oncology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Melanoma affects over one million people in the United States. This review explores genetic mutations and markers of all seven subtypes. Current treatment options and prognosis of each subtype are also discussed. For lentigo maligna, spitzoid, and nodular subtypes, BRAF was the most common mutation reported. For superficial spreading, TP53 was

Are Nomograms Useful for Predicting Sentinel Lymph Node Status in Melanoma Patients?

Journal of Surgical Oncology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background and Objectives Clinical nomograms have been developed to predict sentinel lymph node (SLN) status in early‐stage melanoma patients, but the clinical utility of these tools remains debatable. We created and validated a nomogram using data from a randomized clinical trial and assessed its accuracy against the well‐validated Melanoma ...

Lymphedema praecox

Dermatology Online Journal, 2009
A 57-year-old man presented with the post-pubertal onset of asymptomatic swelling of the left arm and legs that had been complicated by recurrent bouts of cellulitis. The presentation and disease course are consistent with lymphedema praecox, which is a subtype of primary lymphedema with onset at puberty and a slowly progressive course. The subtypes of

Clinical staging and genetic profiling of Korean patients with primary lymphedema using targeted gene sequencing

Scientific Reports, 2022
Lymphedema is a progressive disease caused by lymphatic flow blockage in the lymphatic pathway. Primary (hereditary) lymphedema is caused by genetic mutations without secondary causes. We performed clinical profiling on Korean primary lymphedema patients

3D tissue reconstruction with Kinect to evaluate neck lymphedema [PDF]

arXiv, 2019
Lymphedema is a condition of localized tissue swelling caused by a damaged lymphatic system. Therapy to these tissues is applied manually. Some of the methods are lymph drainage, compression therapy or bandaging. However, the therapy methods are still insufficiently evaluated. Especially, because of not having a reliable method to measure the change of

De‐Escalating Surgery in Merkel Cell Carcinoma With Clinical Nodal Disease

Journal of Surgical Oncology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is a radiosensitive aggressive skin cancer that spreads via the lymphatics. There is uncertainty regarding the optimal management of the nodal basin for patients with MCC with clinically positive nodes.

Microwave lymphedema assessment using deep learning with contour assisted backprojection [PDF]

We present a method for early detection of lymphatic fluid accumulation in lymphedema patients based on microwave imaging of the limb volume across an air gap. The proposed algorithm uses contour information of the imaged limb surface to approximate the wave propagation velocity locally to solve the eikonal equation for implementing the adjoint imaging
