About this trial

The goal of this study is to develop clinical decision-support algorithms for designing participants-specific breast molds for tissue shaping. Autologous breast reconstruction is an important part of breast cancer rehabilitation for many participants. Our goal is to increase the efficiency of autologous breast reconstruction by helping the surgeon design participants-specific molds for shaping tissue into an acceptable breast form.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Patients 18 years of age or older

Patients who are willing and able to provide informed consent

Patients who are scheduled to undergo breast reconstruction with free flap (Deep Interior Epigastric Artery Perforator (DIEP) flap or Transverse Rectus Abdominis Myocutaneous (TRAM) flap)

Disqualifiers

Patients whose surgical plan includes the use of stacked flaps (DIEP + other free flap, usually from the thigh or buttock)

Patients whose surgical plan includes the use of DIEP flap with vascularized lymph node transfer

Patients undergoing neoadjuvant radiation

Crossover

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Standard of care reconstruction

    Procedure/Surgery

    Participants will receive standard of care reconstruction

  • Surgery, Breast Mold
