Breast motion study after surgery and radiation
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study uses a 3D scanner to measure how your breast moves after surgery and possibly radiation. The results may help doctors improve treatment planning for future patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are female and at least 18 years old.
- You have early or locally advanced breast cancer in one breast and are having (or have had) surgery with or without radiation.
- You can travel to the University of Portsmouth breast biomechanics lab for a scan.
- You have not had previous surgery on your other breast.
- You do not have epilepsy, a breast infection, or need help walking.
- You are not pregnant, less than 6 weeks after giving birth, or breastfeeding.

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 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 tests a custom 3D-printed external breast form for people who had a mastectomy without reconstruction. It aims to see if it improves comfort and satisfaction.
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 trial looks at new tools to detect lymphedema (breast or arm swelling) after breast cancer treatment. If you had breast-conserving surgery, radiation, and have finished active therapy (except certain hormone treatments), researchers want to see if a simple device can spot fluid buildup early.
This trial studies using MRI images to help plan and guide radiation therapy after breast-conserving surgery. It may help doctors target the right area more accurately while keeping treatment standard and safe.
