Bioimpedance Spectroscopy Preferred for Post-Breast Surgery Lymphedema Risk

Interim results from a study that compared bioimpedance spectroscopy (BIS) to the classical tape measure for assessing a woman’s risk for developing lymphedema after breast cancer surgery strongly suggested that BIS was the preferred method. More...
