Study of breast fascia during mastectomy or reduction
Part of Skin clinical trials.
This trial studies the natural structure of connective tissue (fascia) in the breast during surgery. It may help doctors better understand how to preserve important structures during mastectomy or breast reduction.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for a mastectomy (removing the whole breast) or a breast reduction
- You have breast cancer (if you are having a mastectomy)
- You are not having breast-conserving surgery (lumpectomy)

This study tests a surgical technique to better preserve the natural fold under the breast (the inframammary fold) during implant-based breast reconstruction. It may help improve the cosmetic result after breast cancer treatment.
This trial looks at how certain natural fat molecules in your body might relate to long-term pain after breast cancer surgery. It could help doctors better understand and treat chronic pain in the future.
This trial looks at a preventive surgical technique done during breast lymph node removal to lower the chance of developing lymphedema (swelling from blocked fluid) after treatment. If you are at risk, it may help reduce long-term swelling and discomfort.
This trial is testing a new surgical technique that leaves a smaller scar during mastectomy for breast cancer. It may be a good option if you want to keep the scar as small as possible.
This trial studies whether a pain-control technique called regional anesthesia during certain breast surgeries can lower chronic (long-lasting) pain after surgery. It may help improve comfort and quality of life for people at risk of ongoing pain after their breast operation.
This study follows people with breast cancer that has spread into the chest wall who are planning full-thickness chest wall surgery. It aims to improve quality of life by collecting real-world information during and after treatment.
