3D-Printed mesh aims to improve breast reconstruction outcomes
NCT ID NCT07365267
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a new 3D-printed biodegradable mesh used with a silicone implant for immediate breast reconstruction after mastectomy in women with breast cancer. The goal is to see if the mesh improves cosmetic results, patient satisfaction, and safety. The trial will enroll 25 women at one hospital and follow them for outcomes like satisfaction and recurrence.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- 3D-printed biodegradable biological mesh
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this mesh could improve cosmetic results and quality of life for women undergoing immediate breast reconstruction after mastectomy.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage trial with only 25 participants at one center, so results may not apply broadly. Risks include infection, implant issues, or mesh-related complications.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Female breast cancer patients aged 18 to 70 years. * Histopathologically confirmed invasive breast cancer, as defined by the latest ASCO/NCCN guidelines. * Unable to undergo breast-conserving surgery or willing to undergo total mastectomy with immediate implant-based breast reconstruction. * ECOG performance status of 0-1. * Voluntary participation in the study and signing of the written informed consent form. Exclusion Criteria: * Age \>70 years. * Metastatic breast cancer (Stage IV) at initial diagnosis. * Multicentric, extensive, diffuse lesions, or inflammatory breast cancer. * Tumor involvement of the nipple-areolar complex. * Breast cancer during pregnancy. * History of other malignancies within the past 5 years, except for cured cervical carcinoma in situ or non-melanoma skin cancer. * Abnormal function of vital organs such as heart, lungs, liver, or kidneys; poorly controlled diabetes, etc., rendering the patient unable to tolerate surgery. * Patients deemed unsuitable for participation by the investigator.
