Join Steven L. Chen, a breast surgeon, as we delve into the advancements in breast cancer treatments and the challenges of managing breast cancer-related lymphedema (BCRL). As survival rates improve, the focus is shifting to addressing the long-term side effects, particularly lymphedema, which significantly impacts patients' quality of life. Steven will discuss the difficulties in early detection, innovative technologies like bioimpedance spectroscopy (BIS), the importance of patient education, and personalized exercise programs. We'll explore the financial burden of BCRL, the effectiveness of compression garments, and advanced imaging techniques for early diagnosis.
