MASTECTOMY

This study is testing a new type of surgical drain called the Interi system against the standard drain used after breast reconstruction surgery. Researchers want to see if the new drain is safer, more comfortable, and helps patients recover faster by removing fluid more effective…

This study is testing whether custom 3D-printed molds can help surgeons perform breast reconstruction more efficiently. The molds are designed using special computer algorithms to match each patient's body. Researchers will compare surgery time and outcomes between patients who r…

This study is testing whether a safe fluorescent dye called indocyanine green (ICG) can help surgeons find lymph nodes during mastectomy surgery for breast cancer. Researchers want to see if this dye works as well as the standard radioactive tracer method when surgeons use the sa…

This large international study is testing if giving patients a lidocaine (a common numbing medicine) infusion during and for 24 hours after breast cancer surgery can prevent them from developing moderate or severe chronic pain one year later. It will enroll 4,300 women and compar…

This study is testing if a simple nerve-block injection in the neck, given before breast cancer surgery, can prevent depression and chronic pain from developing afterward. It will involve 140 women undergoing a mastectomy. The goal is to see if this preemptive approach reduces th…

This study is testing whether adding one of two extra medications (amantadine or duloxetine) to a standard pain drug (pregabalin) can better prevent long-term pain after mastectomy surgery. It will involve 150 women undergoing breast cancer surgery. Researchers will track who dev…

This study is testing a 16-week online exercise program designed for people recovering from breast cancer surgery. Participants join live video classes twice a week, focusing on aerobic fitness, strength, and balance. The program aims to see if this convenient, group-based approa…

This study is testing a medical device called Brijjit® to see if it can prevent thick, raised scars after gender-affirming chest surgery. Each participant will test the device on one side of their chest while using standard silicone tape on the other side for comparison. The goal…

This study compares two anesthesia methods during breast cancer surgery to see which better prevents long-term pain. Researchers will follow 230 patients for one year after mastectomy, measuring pain levels and psychological factors. One group receives traditional opioid-based an…
