Funded Activity Summary

Lymphoedema can occur secondary to treatment for cancer. It is currently diagnosed using methods which do not allow for early diagnosis, allowing significant tissue damage to occur before treatment is commenced. The aim of this research proposal is to improve the detection and diagnosis of lymphoedema so that it can be treated as early as possible, preventing permanent tissue damage and potentially improving prognosis.
