Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Proportion of Body Composition Measurement Collection
The proportion of enrolled participants with successfully obtained body composition measurements at both preoperative and postoperative timepoints. A success rate of ≥90% will be considered feasible. The proportion of the participants meets feasibility will be reported.
up to 2 years
Secondary Outcomes (3)
Postoperative Variability of Body Composition
up to 2 years
Pre- to Postoperative Changes in Body Composition and Their Association with BMI
up to 2 years
Association Between Body Composition Parameters and Postoperative Complications Following Breast Reconstruction
up to 2 years
Study Arms (2)
Cohort A: Implant-based Reconstruction
Patients undergo standard of care implant-based breast reconstruction and body composition measurement on study.
Cohort B: Autologous Reconstruction
Patients undergo standard of care autologous breast reconstruction and body composition measurement on study.
Interventions
Body composition measurements collected pre and post operatively using a bioelectrical impedance analyzer.
Clinical and surgical data will be collected from the participants medical records.
Eligibility Criteria
Adult participants seen at University California of San Francisco (UCSF) clinics
You may qualify if:
- Patients must have histologically confirmed breast malignancy or increased risk of developing a breast malignancy.
- Age ≥ 18 years.
- 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).
- Ability to understand a written informed consent document, and the willingness to sign it.
You may not qualify if:
- Any significant medical condition or laboratory abnormalities, which places the subject at unacceptable risk if he/she were to participate in the study.
- Pregnant or breastfeeding.
- Patients assigned male at birth.
- Non-cisgender women.
- Patients with implanted electronic medical devices (e.g. pacemaker, defibrillator).
- Patients with prosthetic limbs.
