Breast mesh in two-step breast reconstruction after cancer
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This trial studies whether using a supportive “mesh” during a two-stage breast reconstruction surgery is safe and effective for people rebuilding their breast after breast cancer. You might be a candidate if you have no signs of spread to distant organs and meet several health and body-size criteria.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You’ve been diagnosed with breast cancer
- You are older than 18
- No evidence of cancer spread to distant organs (no distant metastasis) and not stage IV
- Your body mass index (BMI) is under 35
- You don’t have severe health problems with blood, heart, immune system, or major kidney/liver issues
- You can join the study, including mental health requirements, and are able to give informed consent

This study tests whether using surgical mesh can be done safely and works well in breast reconstruction done right away, in front of the chest muscle (pre-pectoral) using tissue expanders. It may help improve how the reconstructed area holds up, but you’d need to meet specific surgical and health requirements.
This trial tests a new 3D printed biodegradable mesh used during breast reconstruction right after a mastectomy for breast cancer. It aims to see how well the mesh works for cosmetic results and safety.
This trial tests a new mesh-like device called Melodi Matrix to support breast reconstruction after mastectomy. It may help women who are planning immediate two-stage implant reconstruction after removing one or both breasts.
This study looks at how “biological” materials compare with synthetic mesh during immediate, one-stage breast reconstruction after mastectomy. It may help doctors choose the best support material to improve reconstruction outcomes for women undergoing this surgery.
This study compares two different surgical techniques for rebuilding the breast after mastectomy (breast removal surgery). The goal is to determine which method provides better results for appearance, comfort, and function.
This trial studies a new device used during breast reconstruction after mastectomy, usually to stretch skin before placing a breast implant. It may help people who’ve had breast cancer and completed radiation at least a year ago by improving the reconstruction process and tracking outcomes.
