First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Sep 04, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests whether an interactive 3D tool, used during a standard surgical consultation, helps women feel more satisfied with the information they receive about breast reconstruction options. Researchers will also check if the tool improves satisfaction with their breasts and decisions. The study involves 88 women planning mastectomy at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.
