Study of radiotherapy effects on breast reconstruction
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are female and 18 or older.
- You are having immediate breast reconstruction (using your own tissue or an implant) after a mastectomy for breast cancer or to lower your risk.
- You can attend 3D imaging appointments at set times.
- You can understand and fill out English questionnaires.
- You do not have vision problems or disabilities that would make imaging or photography difficult.

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 studies whether getting radiation therapy right after breast reconstruction surgery is safe and effective for women with invasive breast cancer who had chemotherapy before surgery. It aims to improve outcomes and quality of life for patients needing both treatments.
This study looks at how breast reconstruction works when radiation is planned around the time of surgery, including in some people before surgery depending on lymph node results. It may help improve safety and outcomes for people needing mastectomy and chest/radiation therapy.
This study tests a shorter course of radiation therapy after breast reconstruction surgery for people with breast cancer. It aims to see if fewer, larger doses of radiation are safe and effective after mastectomy with reconstruction.
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.
This trial studies a radiation schedule given after breast cancer surgery when your breast was rebuilt right away with a prosthesis (implant or similar). It aims to see whether this “hypofractionated” (fewer, larger treatment sessions) radiation approach is appropriate for patients who need additional (adjuvant) radiation to reduce recurrence risk.
