Who may be able to join
AI generated eligibility summary. Written by an AI model from the official source data and checked on a sample basis. It can contain mistakes, so confirm anything important against the original source. How we use AI
Who might be able to join this trial:
- Women between the ages of 22 and 75 who are having one or both breasts reconstructed immediately after mastectomy, using a tissue expander placed in front of the chest muscle.
- Both preventative mastectomies (for people at high risk of breast cancer) and mastectomies to treat breast cancer are acceptable reasons for the surgery.
- Both nipple-sparing and skin-sparing mastectomy techniques are acceptable.
Who may not be able to join:
- People where the surgeon finds during the operation that the skin left after the mastectomy is too thin or not healthy enough for the planned type of reconstruction.
- People having reconstruction on both breasts where the other breast is being reconstructed using a method that places the implant under the chest muscle.
- People whose reconstruction plan involves placing a permanent implant directly, without first using a tissue expander.
- People who are pregnant.
- People having reconstruction at a later date, rather than at the time of the mastectomy.
