Summary
This study tests whether applying minoxidil (a hair-growth cream) to the breast for two weeks before surgery can improve blood flow and tissue survival in women undergoing preventive mastectomy and immediate breast reconstruction. Twenty-five women at high genetic risk for breast cancer will have one breast treated with minoxidil and the other with a placebo cream, and surgeons will compare blood flow and healing between the two. The goal is to see if this simple, low-cost approach can reduce complications like poor wound healing.
