The proposed research training plan in this level 1 application will address the problem of lymphedema following breast cancer treatment. Training plan specific aims are to: 1) describe the physiological and pathophysiological processes relative to lymphedema; 2) critically review and synthesize theory and research related to lymphedema specifically and cancer symptom management more generally; 3) identify valid and reliable lymphedema measurement methods that can be feasibly implemented in outpatient oncology settings; 4) evaluate current treatment modalities for lymphedema; 5) examine biopsychosocial outcomes potentially related to lymphedema (e.g. altered touch, fine or gross motor movement, and sexuality); and 6) perform independent research in this area. The research question is: What is the short-term effectiveness of a multi-modal treatment regimen on reducing lymphedema and improving quality of life (QOL) outcomes when given as a first line treatment for breast cancer survivors? Research specific aims are to: 1) examine the short-term effectiveness of a multi-modal treatment regimen on reducing lymphedema when given as a first line treatment to breast cancer survivors; 2) examine tolerance to the multi-modal treatment regimen when given as a first line treatment to breast cancer survivors; 3) assess QOL outcomes associated with reduction of lymphedema.

本1级申请中拟定的研究培训计划将解决乳腺癌治疗后的水肿问题。培训计划的具体目标是：1）描述与水肿相关的生理和病理生理过程; 2）批判性地回顾和综合与水肿相关的理论和研究，尤其是与癌症症状管理相关的理论和研究; 3）确定有效和可靠的水肿测量方法，这些方法可以在门诊肿瘤环境中可行地实施; 4）评价水肿的当前治疗方式; 5）检查可能与水肿相关的生物心理社会结果（例如触摸改变，精细或粗大运动运动和性行为）;和6）在该领域进行独立研究。研究的问题是：作为乳腺癌幸存者的一线治疗，多模式治疗方案在减少水肿和改善生活质量（QOL）结局方面的短期有效性如何？研究的具体目标是：1）检查多模式治疗方案作为一线治疗给予乳腺癌幸存者时对减轻水肿的短期有效性; 2）检查多模式治疗方案作为一线治疗给予乳腺癌幸存者时对多模式治疗方案的耐受性; 3）评估与减轻水肿相关的QOL结果。
