Table 2.

Maximum Volume Reached, Time to Onset and Symptoms, Cumulative Incidence of BCRLa

Maximum Volume Reached (RVC)
<5% ≥5% ≥10%
Median time to onset of max volume (mo) 11.48 16.86
Total no. of patients surveyed (N = 647b) 393 (60.7%) 254 (39.3%) 64 (9.9%)
No. of patients with reported symptoms (n = 547) 313 (79.6%) 234 (92.1%) 61 (95.3%)
Cumulative incidence of BRCL (no. progressions before timepoint)
 12 mo
 24 mo
22.1% (134)
36.4% (203)
4.0% (24)
8.2% (42)

a BCRL = breast cancer-related lymphedema; RVC = relative volume change.

b Row totals do not sum to these values because patients with RVC ≥ 10% are included in both the ≥10% and ≥5% columns.
