The PreQ-20 TRIAL, a Prospective Cohort Study of Patients Undergoing Prepectoral Breast Reconstruction
Sponsor: University Hospital A Coruña
Summary
The investigators conducted a prospective cohort study to assess the safety, quality of life and cosmetic sequelae of prepectoral breast reconstruction in women with breast cancer and high risk. The study's main objective is to assess the safety of prepectoral breast reconstruction in terms of postsurgical complications and the feasibility of reconstruction (loss of implants). The secondary objectives are to evaluate oncologic safety (local relapses, residual glandular tissue) and to identify factors related to quality of life and cosmetic sequelae. The evaluation of residual tissue will be conducted by magnetic resonance imaging 12 to 18 months after the surgery, and the quality-of-life assessment will be performed using the BreastQ questionnaire. An initial patient evaluation will be conducted 12-18 months after the surgery, and a second evaluation will be performed at 5 years. The estimated sample size is 81 patients.
