A Study of Antibiotic Delivery to Prevent Infection After Breast Tissue Expander Placement

Sponsor: Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center

Conditions: Breast Cancer

Interventions: Tissue Expander (TE), Vancomycin and Gentamicin, Stimulan Rapid Cure

Countries: United States

The researchers are doing this study to find out whether Stimulan Rapid Cure works to reduce the risk of infections in people getting tissue expanders placed during mastectomy. The researchers will also study whether Stimulan Rapid Cure affects the risk of seroma, a possible complication of surgery that involves fluid buildup under the skin.
