Chest wall reconstruction study
Part of Cancer, Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older
- You are having surgery to remove part of your chest wall (partial or full thickness)

- You are not having a major lung removal (pneumonectomy) at the same time
- You are willing to follow up with the study team and can give consent
