Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
compare lymphedema prevalence
Time Frame: 1 year
Data from respondents will be analyzed to determine prevalence of patient reported lymphedema overall; these will then be compared to the prevalence among those who underwent SLN mapping alone, or a comprehensive pelvic lymphadenectomy (+/- para-aortic LND and +/-SLN mapping in conjunction).
Secondary Outcomes
No secondary outcomes reported
