Hair loss drug tested to save skin during breast reconstruction

NCT ID NCT07264790

Summary

This early-stage study is testing whether applying the topical medication minoxidil (commonly used for hair loss) to the skin for two weeks before breast reconstruction surgery can improve blood flow to the surgical area. The goal is to see if this reduces skin healing problems and complications after surgery. The study will involve 25 women at high genetic risk for breast cancer who are having preventive mastectomies with reconstruction.
