Summary

This study looked at 1,000 women who had breast reconstruction with implants right after mastectomy and also received radiation therapy. Researchers compared two types of implants—those with a polyurethan coating and those without—to see which had fewer problems like hardening (capsular contracture) or implant loss. The goal is to help doctors choose the best implant for patients who need radiation after breast cancer surgery.
