Investigation Into the Utility of Novel Body Composition Measurements in Association With Outcomes of Breast Reconstruction
University of California, San Francisco
Summary
This study compares measurements of body composition to outcomes of breast reconstruction.
Description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: 1\. Determine feasibility of collecting measurements of body composition. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: 1. Define the differences in body composition between participants undergoing breast reconstruction who develop complications and those who do not. 2. To determine the implications of different measures of body composition on outcomes of breast reconstruction. 3. Compare utility of body composition measurements versus other anthropometric assessments on assessing risk of complications following breast surgery. OUTLINE: This is a observational study. Participants are assigned…

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Patients must have histologically confirmed breast malignancy or increased risk of developing a breast malignancy. 2. Age ≥ 18 years. 3. Scheduled to undergo mastectomy with immediate breast reconstruction using a permanent implant, tissue expander, or autologous tissue (e.g. Deep Inferior Epigastric Perforator (DIEP) flap, muscle-sparing Transverse Rectus Abdominis Myocutaneous (msTRAM) flap, Profunda Artery Perforator (PAP) flap). 4.
