🏆 NYC Health + Hospitals/Kings County Comprehensive Breast Center Adopts Advanced Technology to Enhance Lymphedema Prevention

NYC Health + Hospitals/Kings County’s Comprehensive Breast Center has enhanced its efforts to prevent lymphedema with the adoption of the ImpediMed SOZO device, a non-invasive technology that can detect breast cancer–related lymphedema before visible swelling occurs. Early identification is critical, as intervention during the earliest stages can help prevent progression to chronic lymphedema and improve long-term outcomes. Each year, more than 310,000 individuals are newly diagnosed with breast cancer in the United States. Studies show that approximately one in five breast cancer patients will experience lymphedema, with up to 82 percent potentially at risk of developing arm lymphedema, depending on their treatment. Lymphedema is a potential complication following breast cancer surgery and radiation therapy. The integration of the SOZO device strengthens the hospital’s Lymphedema Prevention Program and supports ongoing efforts to provide high-quality, patient-centered cancer care.
