Black and Hispanic women needed for a study at UMKC
Dr. Fu at UMKC is looking for Black and Hispanic women who have had persistent or occasional pain, aching, soreness, or tenderness in the body side where they received breast cancer treatment in the past three months. You do not need to have lymphedema (i.e., abnormal lymph fluid build-up) to be in the study.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate a self-care program to manage the discomfort and swelling. The study does not involve drugs. The study will take 13 weeks and will require three visits with UMKC, which you can either do in person or virtually.
If you are interested, contact Dr. Mei Fu.
