Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.

Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This study tests whether watching a video, reading a brochure, or doing both helps women feel more prepared and less anxious when choosing breast reconstruction after mastectomy. About 100 women will be randomly assigned to one of four groups: video only, brochure only, both, or no extra materials. Researchers will measure anxiety, decision readiness, and knowledge about reconstruction options.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to
If successful, this study could show which type of educational material helps patients feel more informed and less anxious before making a decision about breast reconstruction.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study focused on education, not a treatment. Results may not apply to all patients or hospitals, and the knowledge quiz was created by the authors, not a standard test.

This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.

Study facts

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

About 100 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Started

Jun 2026

Expected to finish

Mar 2029

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Ages

18 years and older

Sex

Anyone

Healthy volunteers

Not accepted

This study is not open to healthy volunteers. The entry requirements below say who it is open to.

Show the full entry requirements

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Adults aged 18 or older * Presenting as a new patient to the UCSF plastic surgery breast reconstruction clinic * Considering mastectomy, including: * \- Therapeutic mastectomy in the setting of a breast cancer diagnosis * \- Prophylactic mastectomy in the setting of a confirmed high-risk genetic variant * \- Staged procedures, including delayed mastectomy with initial reduction * Participants who are undecided between lumpectomy and mastectomy Exclusion Criteria: * Established patients returning for follow-up, in order to minimize confounding variables of individual surgeon education style on outcome measures * Participants who are primarily considering lumpectomy or oncoplastic reduction at the time of their visit * Non-English speakers, as educational materials are currently available in English only
