Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

To learn if reconstruction of the lymphatic system at the time of axillary lymphadenectomy can reduce the risk of developing lymphedema.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Primary Objectives

\- To determine the freedom from lymphedema (FFL) rate at 2 years postoperatively in participants with a diagnosis of IBC undergoing ILR at the time of ALND.

Secondary Objectives

* Estimate the proportion of participants who have lymphedema that persists at 2 years after ILR surgeries.
* Determine baseline lymphatic vessel anatomical or functional characteristics associated with increased risk of lymphedema following ILR.
* Evaluate changes in systemic inflammatory mediators and systemic immune cell function affiliated with lymphedema development.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Postoperative Evaluations

Participants who agree to take part in this study, clinic visit timing will be exactly the same time as would ordinarily be scheduled: before surgery, then 6, 12, 18, and 24 months after surgery. Each study visit should take about 2-3 hours.
