DMT177-20 The Impact of Breast Cancer Treatments on Phlebotomy
Tracking # 20-800216
Course overview
There are approximately 3.5 million women in the US with a history of breast cancer. Treatments, including mastectomy and radiation, may impact nearby lymph nodes, putting the patient at risk for the development of lymphedema. Additionally, identifying a breast cancer treatment patient at risk for lymphedema can be a challenge. Updated CLSI guidelines and a set of patient identification questions can help minimize this risk.
