Official title
PartBreCon-Pro Study: PARTial BREast RECONstruction With Chest Wall Perforator Flap, a PROspective Study of Clinical and Patient Reported Outcomes
Overview
The goal of this observational study is to ascertain the outcomes following partial breast reconstruction using chest wall perforator flaps after breast conservation surgery.
Detailed description
The Main Outcomes and Measures are:
A) Patient Demographics and Tumour characteristics
1. Patient demographics: age, body mass index (BMI), comorbidities 2. Preoperative tumour characteristics and location influencing surgical planning
B) Treatment characteristics
1. Surgical: operative data, including flap types and distribution 2. Oncological: systemic therapies (adjuvant and neoadjuvant), radiotherapy
Primary outcome measures
- Surgical Complications [Time frame: Within 30 days of surgery]
Secondary outcome measures (4)
- Oncological Clearance [Time frame: From enrolment until the date of re-operation within 12 months of first surgery, or the end of study, whichever came first.]
- Revisional surgery [Time frame: From enrolment until the date of revision within 36 months of surgery, or the end of study, whichever came first.]
- Oncological: Recurrence [Time frame: From enrolment until the date of recurrence, or the end of study, whichever came first, assessed up to 36 months]
- Oncological: Survival [Time frame: From enrolment until the date of death, or the end of study, whichever came first, assessed up to 36 months]
