Mapping chest wall blood vessels for partial breast reconstruction
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This study tests a new way to find important blood vessels in the chest wall using ultrasound before breast surgery. If successful, it could help surgeons plan partial breast reconstruction more precisely.

This trial studies patients who need surgery to rebuild part of their chest wall after a defect. It looks at how well different reconstruction methods work, especially for larger defects that can't be simply closed.
This study uses a special ultrasound technique (VisR) to look at the structure of breast tissue and collagen in women with suspicious or known breast cancer. The goal is to see if this imaging can help doctors better understand breast cancer without needing a biopsy.
This study looks at different ways to repair the chest wall after surgery. It may help doctors learn which methods work best for people who need this type of reconstruction.
This study explores a new way to process ultrasound images of the breast. It is for women who have a finding, cyst, mass, or calcifications seen on a mammogram or ultrasound, and it uses a special ultrasound technique that may provide clearer images without extra radiation.
This trial tests a new 3D-printed biodegradable implant to rebuild part of the chest wall after tumor removal. The implant is designed to support your chest wall and gradually dissolve over time, helping you heal without a permanent device.
This trial tests a new Feminai device that maps breast tissue to find suspicious lumps. If you're coming for a routine mammogram or a biopsy, this could help improve detection.
