Using a tissue patch during breast cancer lumpectomy
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This study tests whether using a special supportive tissue patch (acellular dermal matrix) during breast-conserving surgery helps improve healing and cosmetic results for breast cancer patients. If you are having lumpectomy, this may help rebuild breast tissue and support the surgical area.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman between 20 and 75 years old.
- You have breast cancer in one breast and will have breast-conserving surgery (lumpectomy).
- You agree to have a special supportive tissue patch (called acellular dermal matrix) placed during surgery.
- You can receive standard follow-up treatment, including radiation therapy, after surgery.
- You have not had cancer spread to other parts of the body (metastasis).

This study tests if a special mesh called an acellular dermal matrix (SC DERM® Recon) is safe for women having breast reconstruction with implants after mastectomy for breast cancer. It involves careful follow-up to check for any problems.
This trial tests a special supportive material called acellular dermal matrix in women having two-stage breast reconstruction after mastectomy. The goal is to learn how well it works when the implant is placed directly under the skin, over the chest muscle.
This study tests whether using surgical mesh can be done safely and works well in breast reconstruction done right away, in front of the chest muscle (pre-pectoral) using tissue expanders. It may help improve how the reconstructed area holds up, but you’d need to meet specific surgical and health requirements.
This study tests a special tissue support called AlloMend used during breast reconstruction after mastectomy. It helps see how well the tissue works and how patients heal.
This study tests a special supportive mesh (called Neorepair) used during breast reconstruction with implants. The mesh helps the body's own tissue grow and support the implant, which may lead to better healing and a more natural result.
This trial studies whether a lab-made skin graft (called ADM) used with tissue expanders can improve breast reconstruction after mastectomy. It may help people who are planning a specific two-step implant reconstruction approach.
