However, presurgery measurements are not always obtained and assessments for evolving lymphedema are only made after surgery. Thus, subsequent TDC assessments may be biased in an unknown way dependent on a patient's handedness in relation to the at\u2010risk arm. We investigated this issue by comparing TDC values in dominant and non\u2010dominant volar forearms of 31 left\u2010handed women and 31 right\u2010handed women (age range 24\u201384\u00a0years). Body fat and water percentages were assessed by bioimpedance at 50\u00a0KHz. Results showed that TDC values of dominant versus non\u2010dominant arms did not significantly differ for left\u2010handers or for right\u2010handers. There was also no statistically significant difference in absolute TDC values between left\u2010 and right\u2010handers or a statistically significant difference in dominant\u2010to\u2010non\u2010dominant arm ratios between left\u2010 and right\u2010handers. For the composite data set (<jats:italic>N<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a062), TDC values for dominant and non\u2010dominant arms were, respectively, 30\u00b70\u00a0\u00b1\u00a04\u00b76 and 29\u00b76\u00a0\u00b1\u00a04\u00b72 and the dominant\u2010to\u2010non\u2010dominant arm TDC ratio for combined left\u2010 and right\u2010handers was 1\u00b7015\u00a0\u00b1\u00a00\u00b7075. These results suggest that handedness is not a major factor when assessing lymphedema status in women who have previously been treated for breast cancer but for whom pretreatment TDCvalues have not been obtained. Moreover, these results suggest that threshold ratios of incipient subclinical unilateral lymphedema based on interarm TDC ratios apply independent of a patient's handedness for the site and tissue depths herein measured.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/cpf.12466","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,8,10]],"date-time":"2017-08-10T05:08:39Z","timestamp":1502341719000},"page":"670-675","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":19,"title":["Role of handedness on forearm skin tissue dielectric constant (TDC) in relation to detection of early\u2010stage breast cancer\u2010related lymphedema"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"38","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2690-7922","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Harvey N.","family":"Mayrovitz","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Medical Sciences Nova Southeastern University Ft.
