Lower Extremity Lymphedema in Gynecologic Cancer Patients: Propensity Score Matching Analysis of External Beam Radiation versus Brachytherapy

The goal of this study is to compare the risk of lower extremity lymphedema (LEL) between pelvic external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) and vaginal brachytherapy, and to identify risk factors for LEL in gynecologic cancer patients treated with adjuvant radiation therapy (RT) after radical surgery.
