NCT01666899

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of radiation therapy following mastectomy on skin and blood vessels and to use information gathered to determine an ideal time for breast reconstruction after radiation.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • To evaluate cellular and histologic changes in mastectomy skin over time following completion of radiation therapy.

    2, 4, 6, 8, 12 months post radiation therapy; 3, 6, 12 months post reconstruction

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • To evaluate the vascular density of the skin and perfusion changes following radiation therapy.

    2, 4, 6, 8, 12 months post radiation therapy; 3, 6, 12 months post reconstruction

Other Outcomes (1)

  • To evaluate changes in internal mammary vessel structure and flow characteristics over time following completion of radiation therapy.

    2, 4, 6, 8, 12 months post radiation therapy; 3, 6, 12 months post reconstruction

Study Arms (1)

Skin and blood vessel procedures

EXPERIMENTAL

All patients will be placed into Arm 1. They will undergo punch biopsies of the breast skin at the time of mastectomy and at 2, 4, 6, 8 and 12 months after completion of radiation therapy. Three more biopsies will be taken at 3, 6, and 12 months after completion of reconstruction. Patients will also undergo skin blood flow studies with a laser imaging device prior to each biopsy procedure. Ultrasound studies of the chest vessels will be performed 4 times over the course of the study- once prior to radiation and at 2, 6 and 12 months after radiation.

Procedure: Skin and blood vessel procedures

Interventions

Biopsies, skin blood flow studies and ultrasound studies will be performed as described.

Skin and blood vessel procedures
