Breast reconstruction with radiation given before surgery
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This study looks at how breast reconstruction works when radiation is planned around the time of surgery, including in some people before surgery depending on lymph node results. It may help improve safety and outcomes for people needing mastectomy and chest/radiation therapy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman age 18 or older
- You can communicate well and understand Dutch, including signing Dutch consent forms
- Your overall health is good enough (performance status score 2 or lower)
- You are planning a mastectomy and you have a known plan for radiation to the chest wall and/or nearby lymph node area
- If your radiation need is not fully clear yet, you may need a sentinel node or targeted axillary procedure first to check lymph nodes

This study looks at how breast reconstruction (rebuilding the breast shape) affects women who have had a mastectomy and need radiation therapy. It aims to see if reconstruction can be done safely and with good results when followed by radiation.
This Phase 3 study tests a specific plan that combines chemotherapy (and sometimes targeted medicines) with radiation before surgery for one breast. It may help shrink breast cancer and improve treatment timing, based on how well tumors respond.
This trial tests giving radiation therapy before surgery and immediate breast reconstruction using implants. It may help patients who need a mastectomy and know they will need radiation after.
This Phase 1 study looks at giving radiation before surgery for people with locally advanced breast cancer, then performing a mastectomy and immediate reconstruction. It aims to see whether this combined approach can shrink the cancer before surgery and safely allow reconstruction afterward.
This study tests whether giving radiation after breast surgery can improve outcomes for people with breast cancer that has spread to nearby lymph nodes (N1). You may be a candidate if you’ve already had surgery and meet specific details about your lymph nodes and cancer type.
This trial looks at whether adding targeted radiation to lymph nodes after breast surgery can lower the chance of breast cancer coming back in people with higher-risk, node-negative disease. If you qualify, you may get a planned radiation approach designed for prevention, not treatment of spread.
