“…Using the TDC, a greater number of patients with breast cancer were detected to have inter-arm increases exceeding 10% that were not detected using BIA ratios, which may indicate a greater sensitivity to localized tissue water changes. 93 There is no evidence on diagnostic accuracy at this time.…”

Diagnosis of Upper Quadrant Lymphedema Secondary to Cancer: Clinical Practice Guideline From the Oncology Section of the American Physical Therapy Association

The Oncology Section of the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA) developed a clinical practice guideline to aid the clinician in diagnosing secondary upper quadrant cancer-related lymphedema. Following a systematic review of published studies and a structured appraisal process, recommendations were written to guide the physical therapist and other health care clinicians in the diagnostic process. Overall clinical practice recommendations were formulated based on the evidence for each diagnostic method and were assigned a grade based on the strength of the evidence for different patient presentations and clinical utility. In an effort to maximize clinical applicability, recommendations were based on the characteristics as to the location and stage of a patient's upper quadrant lymphedema.

“…Within lymphoedema research, water displacement is still considered the gold standard, or reference standard, of volume measurement (Devoogdt et al, 2010;Lee, Boland, Czerniec, & Kilbreath, 2011;Adriaenssens, Buyl, Lievens, Fontaine, & Lamote, 2013;Öhberg et al, 2014;Buffa et al, 2015;Mori, Lustman, & Katz-Leurer, 2015;Hidding et al, 2016;Levenhagen et al, 2017), however, there is growing disagreement to this statement (Adriaenssens et al, 2013;Lu, Han, DeSouza, Armer, & Shyu, 2014). Water displacement is easy to perform, painless, able to measure objects with an irregular shape and is highly sensitive, thus able to detect small volume changes (Chen, Tsai, Hung, & Tsauo, 2008;Tewari et al, 2008;Perdomo et al, 2014).…”

“…Water displacement (Figure 7) measures limb volumes most accurately and is based on Archimedes' Principle physical law of buoyancy (Öhberg et al, 2014). It states that the volume of an object immersed in a fluid is equal to the volume of the displaced fluid (Brorson & Hoijer, 2012;Erends, van der Aa, van der Hulst, & de Grzymala, 2014;Lu et al, 2014;Öhberg et al, 2014). Consideration for the type of volumeter, methodology, water temperature, patient positioning and method of water displacement is essential for research and clinical use (Lee et al, 2011;Erends et al, 2014;Perdomo et al, 2014;Levenhagen et al, 2017) to ensure repeatability and standardisation of the technique.…”

Can 3D Camera Imaging Provide Improved Information to Assess and Manage Lymphoedema in Clinical Practice?

Background Accurate diagnosis and measurement of limb volume in people with lymphoedema is important in order to provide best information for treatment, management and self-management. Current assessment methods lack detail and accuracy. Three-dimensional camera imaging (3DCI) holds the potential to be cheap, accurate, and provide additional material about limb shape not provided by current methods. However, there is a need to ensure that this assessment method is valid and reliable. Methodology This prospective, observational, longitudinal study utilised a diagnostic test study framework to determine the validity, reliability and accuracy of 3DCI compared to circumferential tape measurement (CTM) and perometry and to explore whether shape is a feasible alternative to measure upper limb lymphoedema. Twenty women with breast cancer-related lymphoedema were recruited. Phase one assessed criterion validity, intra-rater reliability, and accuracy of 3DCI by measuring limb volume of each participant with CTM, perometry and 3DCI four times over six months. Phase two investigated the use of limb shape as a method of lymphoedema assessment using oedema maps and calculations of shape redundancy derived from the 3DCI images in phase one. These data sets were matched against limb volume to determine criterion validity, intra-rater reliability and accuracy. Results 3DCI had high intra-rater correlation (ICC=0.87; p<0.00). Concurrent validity ranged from 0.82 to 0.86 against perometry and CTM, with good sensitivity (91.7% to 100%) and moderate specificity (50% to 66.7%). Limb shape calculation (shape redundancy) had moderate intra-rater correlation (ICC=0.71; p=0.01); but correlated poorly with limb volume (r=0.19 to 0.39). Coloured oedema maps were sensitive to change over time with colours clearly identifying problem areas and fluctuations within the affected limb. Conclusion Our study shows that 3DCI is a reliable, valid and accurate method of limb volume measurement, and that it could provide supportive information in clinical assessment. In addition, limb shape provides insight into localised areas of swelling, which other methods of lymphoedema measurement do not. However, shape redundancy requires further refinement.
