Weight Loss to Prevent BCRL: A Pilot Study
The purpose of this study is to establish feasiblity of recruiting obese breast cancer
survivors at the end of treatment, getting those survivors to lose weight and attend
follow-up visits for 6 months.
Breast cancer related lymphedema occurs in 20-30% of survivors. Weight loss could prevent
onset. We seek to do a pilot study to establish feasibility of 1) recruiting survivors at
risk for lymphedema to do a weight loss intervention, 2) achieving 10-15% weight loss over
26 weeks in this population, and 3) attendance at follow-up visits 6 months.
