    Abstract Introduction: Lymphedema is a major public health issue for many women undergoing breast cancer treatment. Although weight loss has been reported to be beneficial in the treatment of lymphedema, no studies to date have examined the use of GLP-1RAs for the treatment of secondary lymphedema. This case report describes a patient who experienced significant resolution of her breast cancer-related lymphedema after initiation of a GLP-1RA for weight loss.
    Main symptoms and/or important clinical findings: Nine months postoperatively the patient developed arm swelling and disability. While on adjuvant chemo and hormonal therapy, her weight increased dramatically and peaked 4 years later. Corresponding to her weight gain was significant worsening of her symptoms.
    The main diagnoses therapeutic interventions and outcomes: Due to adjuvant cancer-related weight gain and inability to lose weight with diet and exercise, she was referred for evaluation and diagnosed with lymphedema. The patient started treatment with a Glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonist and lost 24% of her body weight over the next 13 months. The improvement in her lymphedema mirrored her weight loss. Her limb volume difference dropped from 10.3% down to 3.4% and she no longer required a compression garment. Her imaging demonstrated return of lymphatic pumping and she experienced a significant improvement in quality of life, assessed by a validated lymphedema-specific patient reported outcome (PROM). She remains on hormonal therapy, no longer needs compression and is back to regular exercise without impairment.
    Conclusions: GLP-1 RAs provide a potential medical option for many patients struggling with weight gain and lymphedema. We have observed by all objective measures a significant reduction in lymphedema and the elimination of compression in the case presented as a direct result of GLP-1 RA. This may also reduce a patient's BMI to the point where they become a good candidate for lymphovenous bypass or vascularized lymph node transplant when indicated.

    Abstract Summary: Lymphedema is a progressive disease of the lymphatic system arising from impaired lymphatic drainage, accumulation of interstitial fluid, and fibroadipose deposition. Secondary lymphedema resulting from cancer treatment is the most common form of the disease in developed countries, affecting 15% to 40% of patients with breast cancer after lymph node dissection. Despite recent advances in microsurgery, outcomes remain variable and, in some cases, inadequate. Thus, development of novel treatment strategies is an important goal. Research over the past decade suggests that lymphatic injury initiates a chronic inflammatory response that regulates the pathophysiology of lymphedema. T-cell inflammation plays a key role in this response. In this review, the authors highlight the cellular and molecular mechanisms of lymphedema and discuss promising preclinical therapies.

    Abstract Although the deep inferior epigastric artery perforator flap remains the gold standard for autologous breast reconstruction, many patients are not candidates for this surgery. A variety of thigh-based flaps have been used including the diagonal upper gracilis (DUG) flap, vertical upper gracilis flap, profunda artery perforator (PAP) flap, and lateral thigh perforator flap. However, each of these techniques has a unique set of benefits and drawbacks in terms of wound healing, donor site morbidity, and potential for lymphedema. We describe the first report of a sensate diagonal PAP flap for breast reconstruction: combining the benefits of the DUG (wider skin paddle and reliable wound healing) with the benefits of the PAP (muscle-sparing technique and greater distance from the lymphatic collectors). This was the authors' sentinel case in a woman with paraplegia and chronic leg swelling. Preoperative imaging, markings, and technical details are presented along with postoperative results. In the appropriately selected patient, this flap offers several advantages: a 2-team approach to reconstruction, ample tissue for breast reconstruction, potential neurotization for breast sensibility, wound closure in resting skin tension lines, and avoidance of the lymphatic drainage to the lower extremity. The diagonal PAP flap provides a muscle-sparing alternative to the DUG flap while minimizing the risk of lymphedema. Future studies are needed to assess the donor site morbidity of this flap; however, this case proves the safety and reliability of the diagonal PAP flap in our breast reconstruction population.

    Abstract Background and objectives: We ascertained whether a validated esthetic grading tool for breast reconstruction had been developed and widely adopted since the last published systematic review on the topic from 2015.
    Methods: We performed a systematic review identifying all studies using a grading tool to assess breast reconstruction, using search terms associated with all types of breast surgery and outcomes research. Articles were assessed for patient number, validated scale use, assessor type and training, assessor blinding, assessment method, scoring system type, type and timing of reconstruction, and usage of corroborating scales.
    Results: Of 2809 articles screened, 148 met the criteria. Only 3 used a validated tool, the Esthetic Items Scale. Most used study-only tools (n = 111) or unvalidated tools (n = 28). The most used unvalidated tool was the Garbay/Lowery 5-subscale rubric. Unanchored Likert scales were the most common subjective tool; two-dimensional images were the most used medium. Surgeons, patients, and nurses were the most common assessors. Twenty percent of studies used corroborating scales.
    Conclusions: In the absence of a validated esthetic grading tool for breast reconstruction, researchers continue to rely on unvalidated scales. The only validated scale available is used infrequently and only validated among physicians. A validated, reliable, simple grading tool with clinical and scholastic relevance is needed.

    Abstract Background: Current predictive models of lymphedema risk cannot predict with 100% certainty which patients will go on to develop lymphedema and which will not. Patient-specific anatomic and physiologic differences may be the missing factor. The authors hypothesize that patients with accessory lymphatic pathways may have improved lymphatic drainage, resulting in smaller limb volumes.
    Methods: The authors reviewed indocyanine green (ICG) lymphography images of all patients who presented to their institution for evaluation of breast cancer-related lymphedema. Patients with unilateral upper extremity lymphedema, a full set of bilateral limb measurements, and ICG images of both limbs were included. Other variables of interest included patient demographics and length of follow-up. Patients with accessory pathways were determined independently, and conflicts were resolved with discussion. Abnormal images were also evaluated for common drainage pathways.
    Results: Thirty patients were identified as having accessory lymphatic drainage pathways. These patients had significantly smaller limb volume differences [8.19% (SD, 11.22)] compared with patients who did not exhibit these pathways [20.74% (SD, 19.76); P < 0.001]. The most common pathway was absence or rerouting of the radial bundle to the ulnar or volar bundles ( n = 16).
    Conclusions: The ability to create accessory lymphatic drainage pathways may be associated with improved lymphatic drainage, resulting in smaller limb volumes. Furthermore, certain drainage pathways appear to be more common than others. Description of these pathways should be considered for inclusion in ICG lymphography image grading criteria. Further study is needed to clarify the nature of these pathways and whether these pathways affect subjective symptoms and quality of life.
