New approach may let breast cancer patients get reconstruction right away
NCT ID NCT05412225
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 24, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study is for people with advanced breast cancer (T3 or T4) who have responded well to chemotherapy. Usually, radiation is given after mastectomy, which delays reconstruction. Here, radiation is given before surgery, so reconstruction can happen immediately using the patient's own tissue. The goal is to see if this approach is safe and has fewer wound complications than the standard method.
