As we enter the final days of the year, we’re reflecting on the people who make progress in survivorship care possible — clinicians, navigators, researchers, advocates, partners, and survivors.

Your work strengthens patient support, raises the standard for lymphedema care, and brings clarity and compassion to every step of treatment and recovery.

Wishing everyone a restorative and peaceful holiday season. Thank you for your commitment to the communities you serve.

“We went back to my baseline measurements… it wasn’t until the fluid machine measured that change that we knew we had to act quickly.” — Keelin McDermott, breast cancer survivor

In LBBC’s recent webinar Lymphedema: Early Action & Long-Term Care, patient advocate Keelin shared how prospective monitoring and objective fluid data helped her care team understand what was changing in her arm — even before swelling was visible.

Her experience highlights why baseline data, early conversations, and clear protocols matter in navigating breast-cancer–related lymphedema with confidence rather than uncertainty.

Thank you to Keelin, Dr. Monique Gary, and Living Beyond Breast Cancer for leading this essential conversation.

Exercise oncology and lymphedema care are often discussed separately — but they shouldn’t be.

In a new Urban Health Today interview, ImpediMed’s Maureen McBeth, PT, MPT, CLT-LANA, breaks down why integrated survivorship pathways matter, from exercise implementation gaps to the realities of breast cancer–related lymphedema.

She highlights the growing evidence base (including new NEJM data), the infrastructure barriers that still limit adoption, and how early detection tools like BIS can support personalized, preventive care.

If you’re building or expanding your survivorship program, this conversation is worth a listen.

The future of survivorship care is proactive, evidence-based, and centered on early clinical insight.

Today, The Future of Personal Health released its campaign in USA TODAY, featuring our perspective on how survivorship programs are evolving.

Our article explores:

- What “subclinical change” represents in lymphedema risk
- Why early identification of treatment-related changes in body composition is becoming integral to modern care
- How survivorship pathways can support better long-term outcomes for breast cancer survivors

Fluid is the foundation of precision body composition.

Before interpreting muscle or fat, clinicians need a clear understanding of what’s happening with fluid — one of the earliest indicators of change in the body.

Read the guide below to learn why fluid-first assessment matters.

📹 BMI only tells part of the story — especially when fluid and body composition are involved.

Here’s a quick message from Dr. Jordan Moon, who will be leading our December 10 , Beyond BMI: The Science of Body Composition for Health & Longevity.

He’ll explore topics like body composition, fluid dynamics, variability, and how technologies like BIS support more precise assessment.

Beyond BMI: The Science of Body Composition for Health & Longevity
December 10 • 5:00 PM CT
Presenter: Jordan Moon, PhD

We’ll cover:

• Why BMI can miss meaningful changes in muscle, fat, and fluid
• How fluid-shift monitoring improves assessment accuracy
• What BIS reveals that traditional tools cannot
• Practical ways to apply body composition data in everyday care

“Lymphedema didn’t just change my body — it changed my life.”

In her Oncology Times essay, Dr. Sheri Prentiss shares how breast cancer–related lymphedema nearly cost her career, and why early conversations, baseline measurements, and proactive monitoring are essential for survivors.

Her experience is a reminder that survivorship doesn’t end with treatment — and that early detection and support can change the path forward.

Every patient’s story is different — their data should be too.

With SOZO®, clinicians can see how the body is responding to treatment in real time — detecting subtle changes in fluid, fat, and muscle before symptoms appear.

That clarity supports earlier intervention, personalized recovery plans, and stronger patient engagement throughout survivorship.

“We have precision oncology, precision drugs, and tailored regimens. We’re starting to see the same level of precision in lymphedema care.”

In this conversation from Living Beyond Breast Cancer’s webinar, breast surgical oncologist Dr. Monique Gary explains why monitoring fluid changes matters — not just measuring an arm with a tape measure after swelling shows up.

The goal: identify fluid shifts early, understand a patient’s individual risk, and act before visible swelling and loss of function.

One scan. Clear insight.

SOZO® transforms complex body data into decision-ready clarity — fast, intuitive, and built for everyday clinical use.

Because precision only matters when it’s simple enough to use in real time.

The end of breast cancer treatment is cause for celebration, but for many patients, it can bring new challenges. Some studies show that up to 65% of women who undergo breast cancer surgery develop lymphedema, a painful swelling of tissue due to excess fluid retention. Ali Rogin spoke with two member...
