Abstract:
In the present study, we advocate quantifying post-mastectomy edema in patients with breast cancer in millilitres and not in centimetre, contrarily to the usual routine practice. The water displacement and perimetric quantification methods exhibited both excellent reproducibility with an intraclass correlation coefficient > 0.99 and an accuracy coefficient < 0.3%.
