Study Type

OBSERVATIONAL

Conditions

Urinary Bladder Neoplasms Penile Cancer Prostatic Neoplasms Testicular Neoplasms

Summary

Lymphedema of the extremities is common after lymph node surgery in treating several forms of cancer, e.g., breast cancer. However, very little is known of the occurrence of lymphedema of the lower extremities after urologic surgery with lymph node dissection. This project aims to describe the frequency and grade of lymphedema arising after urologic surgery, using the Lymphedema Quality of Life Questionnaire (LymQOL), Delfin MoistureMeter D, and lower limb volume measurements.

Eligibility

Min Age: 18 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is following patients who undergo urological surgery (such as for prostate, bladder, or kidney cancer) that involves removal of lymph nodes (lymph node dissection). The goal is to track how often lymphedema (swelling caused by lymph system damage) develops afterward and understand its impact. **You may be eligible if...** - You are having urological (kidney, bladder, prostate, or related organ) surgery that includes lymph node removal **You may NOT be eligible if...** - There are no specific exclusion criteria listed for this study Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.

This summary was AI-generated to explain the trial in plain language. It is not medical advice. Always discuss eligibility with your doctor before enrolling in a clinical trial.
