As treatment for breast cancer improves and the threat of life-long chronic lymphedema becomes more prevalent, the need for effective screening tools emerges as crucial. This review was conducted using literature beginning in 1992 to analyze primary research testing the accuracy of bioimpedance spectroscopy as a diagnostic and early detection tool for breast cancer-related lymphedema. We concluded bioimpedance is an accurate diagnostic tool for pre-existent lymphedema, however, it has not been validated for early detection. J. Surg.

随着乳腺癌治疗方法的改进以及终身慢性淋巴水肿的威胁日益普遍，有效筛查工具的需求变得至关重要。本综述使用了始于1992年的文献，以分析对生物电阻抗光谱作为乳腺癌相关淋巴水肿诊断和早期检测工具准确性进行测试的初步研究。我们得出结论，生物电阻抗是已存在淋巴水肿的准确诊断工具，然而，它尚未经过早期检测的验证。《外科肿瘤学杂志》2016年；114:537 - 542。©2016威利期刊公司。
