Volume Changes as Measured by Perometry
Therapeutic volume changes in the arm will be calculated using the methods published by Anderson et al (2000).65 Briefly, the difference in volume measurements between the normal and lymphedematous arms at baseline (i.e volume excess) will be compared to the volume differential after drug treatment and following the washout period using the following formula: (VL-VN) B - (VL-VN) F
Time frame: 1 year
