Body Composition and Breast Reconstruction Outcomes
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This study measures body composition (muscle and fat distribution) in patients undergoing breast reconstruction after mastectomy to understand how these measurements relate to surgical outcomes and recovery. Understanding these connections may help doctors better predict and optimize results for future patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 study looks at whether body fat and muscle (body composition) change how well certain chemotherapy works after surgery for early breast cancer. You may be considered if you are planned to receive docetaxel as adjuvant (after-surgery) chemotherapy and have recent CT scan images.
This study compares two ways to rebuild the breast after a full mastectomy for breast cancer. One method is delayed endoscopic deep tissue reconstruction, and the other uses a muscle from your back. The goal is to find which method gives better results and satisfaction.
This trial compares two types of breast reconstruction after mastectomy: using your own tissue (DIEP flap) versus using an implant. It aims to see which gives better results.
This trial tests a “full breast reconstruction” approach for people who are planning or have had a breast removal (mastectomy). It may help improve how reconstruction is done and whether you can use the external expansion device as part of the process.
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.
