Prospective Outcomes After Reconstruction and Radiotherapy for Breast Cancer

NCT00845078 · Status: WITHDRAWN · Type: OBSERVATIONAL

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This study examines the aesthetic outcomes of breast reconstruction after mastectomy for breast cancer in patients who require post-mastectomy radiation treatment. Patients will undergo autologous tissue breast reconstruction either in immediate fashion, prior to radiation treatment, or in delayed fashion, after radiation treatment. Both approaches are acceptable and are practiced clinically. this will be an observational prospective cohort study.

The investigators hypothesize that immediate autologous reconstruction patients who undergo subsequent radiation therapy have equivalent aesthetic outcome when compared to those in whom reconstruction is delayed until after radiation, with the additional benefit of avoiding the psychological side effects of breast amputation.
