Comparing two breast reconstruction positions after mastectomy
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This trial compares two surgical techniques for breast reconstruction: placing the implant under the chest muscle versus in front of it. It may help people understand which approach works better for comfort and healing after mastectomy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are female and age 18 to 70
- Your breast cancer is early-stage (stage I or II) confirmed by core needle biopsy
- You need (or choose) a full mastectomy, not breast-sparing surgery
- Your tumor is small (3 cm or less) and does not invade skin, fatty tissue, or chest wall
- Your nipple area is not involved, and the tumor is at least 2 cm away
- You are healthy enough for treatment (ECOG 0 to 2) and have no major recent heart or stroke problems

This trial tests a newer, less invasive way to remove breast tissue while keeping the nipple and skin, using robotic or endoscopic tools. It then rebuilds the breast with an implant wrapped in a non-biological mesh. The goal is to see how well patients recover and how they feel about the results.
This study compares two breast reconstruction techniques after a mastectomy to see which one gives better results. Participating may help you rebuild your breast shape in a way that feels more natural to you.
This study compares two ways to remove the breast tissue while keeping the nipple and skin: a conventional (open) surgery versus a endoscopic (minimally invasive) surgery, both followed by immediate implant reconstruction. The goal is to see which approach leads to better feeling (sensory recovery) in the breast after surgery.
This study compares two types of breast reconstruction for women who need radiation therapy after their mastectomy: one-stage reconstruction using a permanent implant placed in front of the chest muscle, versus the standard two-stage approach where a tissue expander is used first and replaced with a permanent implant later. The goal is to see which method works better and is safer for patients who require post-mastectomy radiation.
This trial compares two types of mastectomy (with skin and nipple options) and implant reconstruction to see which gives better cosmetic results, comfort, and satisfaction. You may help doctors learn which approach leads to a better quality of life after surgery.
This study compares two common ways of rebuilding the breast with implants after mastectomy for breast cancer. It looks at surgical outcomes to help women and doctors choose the best approach.
