Join Steven L. Chen, a breast surgeon, as we delve into the advancements in breast cancer treatments and the challenges of managing breast cancer-related lymphedema (BCRL). As survival rates improve, the focus is shifting to addressing the long-term side effects, particularly lymphedema, which significantly impacts patients’ quality of life. Steven will discuss the difficulties in early detection, innovative technologies like bioimpedance spectroscopy (BIS), the importance of patient education, and personalized exercise programs. We’ll explore the financial burden of BCRL, the effectiveness of compression garments, and advanced imaging techniques for early diagnosis.

Steven L. Chen is a breast surgeon.

He discussed the KevinMD article, “Navigating the challenges of breast cancer-related lymphedema.”

Our presenting sponsor is Nuance, a Microsoft company.

Together, Microsoft and Nuance are leveraging their rich digital technology and advanced AI capabilities to tackle some of health care’s biggest challenges. AI-driven technology promises to revolutionize patient and provider experiences with clinical documentation that writes itself.

The Nuance Dragon Ambient eXperience, or DAX for short, is a voice-enabled solution that automatically captures patient encounters securely and accurately at the point of care. DAX Copilot combines proven conversational and ambient AI with the most advanced generative AI in a mobile application that integrates directly with your existing workflows.

Physicians who use DAX have reported a 50 percent decrease in documentation time and a 70 percent reduction in feelings of burnout, and 85 percent of patients say their physician is more personable and conversational.
