Using photos and a computer to assess breast appearance after treatment
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This study uses a computer (deep neural network) to judge how the breast looks after breast-conserving surgery or full breast reconstruction and radiation therapy. It may help doctors measure cosmetic results more consistently using photographs.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with primary breast cancer (invasive or in situ).
- You had breast-conserving surgery or a whole-breast reconstruction (not mastectomy without reconstruction).
- You completed radiation to the whole breast (not partial breast radiation).
- Your disease is not widespread: non-metastatic or only a small number of spots (oligometastatic).
- You can take part again (reconsent) and you agree to be assessed using photos of both breasts.

This study looks at breast cancer images to see whether computer-extracted patterns (“radiomics”) can help improve understanding of the disease. You may be included if your breast cancer diagnosis is confirmed and your medical records are complete.
This study is looking at how radiotherapy affects women who have immediate breast reconstruction after mastectomy. The goal is to understand the changes and improve future care. Participants will have 3D imaging and answer questionnaires.
This study looks at how well breast-conserving surgery (lumpectomy) works for women with breast cancer or other breast conditions. It will track how you feel, how you look, and your overall satisfaction to help improve future care.
This study tests a new way of getting your consent for breast cancer surgery using digital tools. It asks for your feedback on how the consent process went.
This study looks at how well a computer model can predict if breast cancer will completely respond to chemotherapy before surgery. It is for people with early-stage breast cancer who are about to start neoadjuvant chemotherapy.
This study looks at how people’s expectations and body image feelings may affect experiences after breast reconstruction after mastectomy. It may help doctors understand what kinds of support or counseling could make recovery feel better.
