Lymphatic Function in Patients Who Have Undergone Breast Cancer Treatment
Protocol resume Swelling of tissue due to excess fluid, called lymphedema, is a common side effect of breast cancer treatment that requires lifelong treatment but in what way the treatment of breast cancer affects the lymphatic vasculature is not yet fully understood. The overall aim of this study is to examine the baseline lymphatic function and anatomy in women who have undergone and completed treatment for breast cancer. Comparison will be made between: * The treated arm and the untreated arm in the participant. * The treated arm in patients who did not develop lymphedema and the treated arm in patients who did. By using an emerging technique, Near Infrared fluorescence imaging (NIRF), and non-contrast MRI it is now possible to examine the link between breast cancer treatment and the development of lymphedema. This project will describe the impact of breast cancer treatment on contractile function and morphological changes of the lymphatic vasculature in the upper extremity in patients treated for breast cancer. The study population will consist of 28 patients treated for breast cancer who simultaneously are enrolled in the Skagen 1 trial. The NIRF imaging and MRI will be performed after completion of breast cancer treatment and no later than half a year after completion treatment. All examinations will be made under similar conditions, on the same segment of lymphatic vasculature, in the same room and bed and with patients in the supine position. The estimated duration of each examination is approximately 3,5 hours. Upon arrival participants will receive three injections of ICG distally on each arm, two on the dorsal side and one on the palmar side. Ten minutes after injection, the primary sequence of the lymphatic vessels will be recorded, allowing for calculation of frequency and velocity. Following, the pumping pressure of the lymphatic vessels will be estimated. After completion of the NIRF examination, an MRI scan of the upper body and extremities wi
