Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Autologous fat transfer reconstruction
Breast reconstruction achieved by serial autologous fat transfer (AFT) procedures, accompanied by external tissue expansion of the breast.
|
Each procedure consists of the transfer of syringe-aspirated fat (form the abdomen, thighs, flanks) to the breast by injection in the subcutaneous planes. Typically three separate procedures are needed for a complete breast reconstruction:
Other Names:
|
Active Comparator: Reconstruction with breast implants
Control group will receive implant-based reconstruction, in some cases preceded by the implantation of a tissue expander.
|
Implant-based reconstruction typically will occur as follows:
(Note: in patients who are receiving encapsulectomy and implant exchange, the first 2 steps are skipped.)

What is the study measuring?
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Breast-related Quality of life (BREAST_Q)
Time Frame: 1 year
|
Measured by the BREAST-Q questionnaire (quality of life subdivision) preoperatively and 1 year postoperatively
|
1 year
|
Secondary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Aesthetic result
Time Frame: 1 year
|
The overall aesthetic result will be measured using 3D-photographs which will be assessed by a panel of independent plastisch surgeons, ex-breast cancer patients and healthy volunteers.
In addition, the volume, shape and symmetry will be assessed by the patient using the BREAST-Q questionnaire (satisfaction with breasts subdivisions) at 1 year postoperatively.
|
1 year
|
Complications
Time Frame: 1 year
|
Measurement of short-term als well as mid-term complications associated with procedures as well as (serious) adverse events.
|
1 year
|
Oncological safety
Time Frame: 5 years
|
Oncological follow-up will comply to the guidelines for breast cancer and will take place by a yearly consult with the oncological surgeon (including physical examination and mammography/ultrasound/MRI) for 5 years postoperatively.
All (loco)regional and distant recurrences will be recorded and compared between both grops.
|
5 years
|
Cost-effectiveness
Time Frame: 1 year
|
Cost-effectiveness analysis to determine the intramural and socio-economic costs associated with the breast reconstruction treatment.
It will be calculated according to the guidelines of the "Instuction manual cost-effectiveness analysis" (Handleiding kostenonderzoek) of the Dutch Health Institute (Zorginstituut Nederland).
|
1 year
|
Sensibility
Time Frame: 1 year
|
Measurement of skin sensitivity with Semmes Weinstein Monofilaments, 12 months after final reconstruction surgery.
|
1 year
|
Donor site satisfaction
Time Frame: 2 years
|
Measurement of quality of life and satisfaction at AFT donor sites, as measured by the BODY-Q questionnaire and additional questions concerning liposuction sites.
|
2 years
