3D printed mesh for breast reconstruction after mastectomy
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This trial tests a new 3D printed biodegradable mesh used during breast reconstruction right after a mastectomy for breast cancer. It aims to see how well the mesh works for cosmetic results and safety.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman between 18 and 70 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with invasive breast cancer that cannot be treated with breast-conserving surgery, or you choose to have a mastectomy with immediate implant reconstruction.
- You are healthy enough for surgery (ECOG score 0-1).
- You have not had cancer spread to other parts of the body (Stage IV) or certain types like inflammatory breast cancer.
- You have not had other cancers in the past 5 years (except cured skin or cervical cancer).

This trial tests a new type of breast implant made from a special material that your body can safely absorb over time. It is designed for women who need breast reconstruction after breast cancer surgery, aiming to restore shape without leaving a permanent implant.
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 trial studies whether using a supportive “mesh” during a two-stage breast reconstruction surgery is safe and effective for people rebuilding their breast after breast cancer. You might be a candidate if you have no signs of spread to distant organs and meet several health and body-size criteria.
This study looks at how “biological” materials compare with synthetic mesh during immediate, one-stage breast reconstruction after mastectomy. It may help doctors choose the best support material to improve reconstruction outcomes for women undergoing this surgery.
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 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.
