Radiation skin side-effect test after mastectomy with implant
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This trial looks at a test meant to predict how likely you are to develop side effects from radiation to the chest wall after mastectomy. It is designed for people getting immediate breast reconstruction using an implant, so treatment planning may be safer and more personalized.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be 18 years or older
- Have confirmed breast cancer and be having a mastectomy (breast removal surgery)
- Plan to receive radiation to the chest wall after the mastectomy
- Be getting immediate breast reconstruction using an implant (not flap surgery)
- You must be able to complete study follow-up in your area and sign consent before any study steps

This study tests local and regional radiation treatment after nipple-sparing mastectomy done with an implant. It may help reduce cancer returning in the breast/nearby tissues for people whose cancer hasn’t spread to distant sites.
This trial compares a shorter course of radiation (fewer, larger doses) with the standard longer course for women who have had breast cancer surgery with implant-based reconstruction. It aims to see if the shorter schedule is just as safe and effective for the chest area, while being more convenient.
This trial studies a radiation schedule given after breast cancer surgery when your breast was rebuilt right away with a prosthesis (implant or similar). It aims to see whether this “hypofractionated” (fewer, larger treatment sessions) radiation approach is appropriate for patients who need additional (adjuvant) radiation to reduce recurrence risk.
This trial tests a new way to deliver radiation therapy that adapts to each patient's body changes during treatment. It is for women who had breast cancer surgery and need radiation to the whole breast and nearby lymph nodes, and who have been identified as being at risk for breast fibrosis.
This trial tests whether women with breast cancer who had a complete or near-complete response to chemotherapy before mastectomy need radiation therapy after surgery. It aims to see if skipping radiation is safe and can reduce side effects.
This trial studies whether some patients with early-stage breast cancer can safely skip a specific part of radiation to the inner chest (called internal mammary irradiation). It may reduce radiation side effects while still aiming to prevent the cancer from coming back.
