Breast Cancer Hormone Therapy Modulates Breast Implant Capsular Contracture
Patients who underwent implant-based reconstruction had reduced rates of capsular contracture if they received tamoxifen therapy at the time of implantation. These findings support preclinical models that indicate a role for local delivery of hormone therapy around implants to deliberately reduce the occurrence of capsular contracture.
