Delayed-Immediate Breast Reconstruction
Completed · Phase 2
Conditions studied: Breast Cancer
In brief
The goal of this clinical research study is to evaluate a new two-stage approach (delayed-immediate reconstruction) to breast reconstruction in women who may require post-mastectomy radiation therapy. Researchers will compare the cosmetic outcomes and any complications that occur in women who receive delayed-immediate reconstruction to those who receive the standard approaches (either immediate reconstruction or delayed breast reconstruction).

You may qualify if…
- Patients with clinical stage I or stage II breast cancer who may require postmastectomy XRT.
- Patients will be required to receive postmastectomy XRT as well as breast reconstructive procedures, including subsequent deflation and re-inflation of the prosthesis after XRT at University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center (UT MDACC).
- Patients must sign the consent form and must be able to withstand two (2) anesthetic procedures.
- Patients with stage I breast cancer who will be eligible for delayed-immediate breast reconstruction will have extensive microcalcifications within the affected by mammography that make it difficult to determine preoperatively the extent of invasive disease.
You may not qualify if…
- Patients with stage III or stage IV breast cancer who are known preoperatively to require postmastectomy XRT.
- Patients with stage I breast cancer who are unlikely to require postmastectomy XRT.
