Mastectomy Reconstruction Outcomes Consortium (MROC) Study

Completed

Conditions studied: Breast Cancer

In brief

The MROC Study seeks to evaluate and compare from the patient's point of view the leading options for breast reconstruction after mastectomy. This study will help patients, physicians, payers and policy makers better understand the various surgeries available for breast reconstruction. Although many women choose reconstruction, the number of options as well as their pros and cons can make decision making difficult and stressful. From this research, we hope to learn more about what works best for patients undergoing these operations.

You may qualify if…

• Women who present themselves for reconstruction at one of 11 MROC centers
• Women undergoing one of the following types of breast reconstruction after mastectomy: tissue expander/implant, LD flap (with, or without implant), PTRAM flap, FTRAM flap, DIEP flap, S-GAP flap, I-GAP flap or SIEA flap.
• Immediate or delayed reconstruction

• Women receiving mastectomy for cancer prophylaxis, without history of breast cancer, will be eligible to participate.

You may not qualify if…
