Recruiting studies
- NCT04293796Recruiting
Skipping breast surgery after complete response
This trial looks at whether some people with breast cancer can safely avoid breast surgery after they respond completely to treatment before surgery. If you have no remaining cancer in the tissue and lymph node tests, this study checks whether the “watch-and-wait” approach is feasible and safe.
Saint PetersburgAges 18–70 - NCT06761196Recruiting
Quality of life after breast cancer surgery
This study looks at how breast cancer surgery affects your quality of life. It includes people with any stage of breast cancer (or at high risk) who need breast surgery under general anesthesia. The goal is to learn how to better support your recovery and well-being.
ColmarAges 18 years+ - NCT06938360Recruiting
Breast-conserving surgery for central breast cancer study
This trial compares breast-conserving surgery (removing only the tumor and nearby tissue) to total mastectomy (removing the whole breast) for women with breast cancer in the central area of the breast. The goal is to see if the less extensive surgery works just as well.
Xi'an, ShaanxiAges 18–70 - NCT07059104Recruiting
Breast reconstruction after weight loss surgery study
This study looks at how breast reconstruction with implants works for women who have had major weight loss surgery. It uses national health registries to track outcomes and help doctors and patients make better choices.
GothenburgAges Any age - NCT06635980RecruitingPhase 2
Radiation before or after breast cancer surgery
This trial compares two ways of giving radiation for breast cancer that has not spread: before or after surgery. It aims to see if giving radiation first might work as well or better.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT04345081Recruiting
Compare two breast surgery skin-sparing methods and recovery
This trial compares two types of mastectomy (with skin and nipple options) and implant reconstruction to see which gives better cosmetic results, comfort, and satisfaction. You may help doctors learn which approach leads to a better quality of life after surgery.
BudapestAges 18–65 - NCT07597837Recruiting
Breast Cancer Surgery Outcomes Study
This study collects information about breast cancer surgery outcomes—with or without reconstruction—to help doctors understand what works best for patients. By participating, you'll contribute to research that may improve care for future patients.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT07767305Recruiting
Taping vs compression for breast swelling after radiation
This study compares two non-drug treatments for breast swelling (lymphedema) that can happen after breast-conserving surgery and radiation. It tests whether special tape (Kinesio Taping) works as well as compression therapy to reduce swelling and symptoms.
Tangshan, HebeiAges 18 years+ - NCT04169542Recruiting
Study on how COVID-19 affected costs for breast surgery patients
This study asks people with breast cancer who are having breast surgery about how COVID-19 affected their out-of-pocket costs, work income, and job stability. Your answers may help improve support for patients during public health emergencies.
Conroe, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04469296Recruiting
Diet changes before surgery for hormone-receptor breast cancer
This trial tests whether changing your diet before your breast surgery can help people with early, hormone-receptor (ER/PR+) breast cancer. It focuses on patients who have not started treatment yet and want to keep surgery as the main treatment.
Montpellier, HeraultAges 18–80 - NCT07739277Recruiting
Comparing two ways to give a chest wall pain block for breast surgery
This study compares two ways of giving a numbing injection (a nerve block) to the side of the chest wall for pain relief after breast surgery. The goal is to see which method works better for reducing pain and the need for pain medicine.
Ankara, Yenimahalle\AnkaraAges 18–65 - NCT07283120Recruiting
How breast surgery affects quality of life
This study looks at how breast surgery affects your daily life and well-being. By joining, you help doctors understand what matters most to patients after surgery.
BaselAges 18 years+ - NCT06738654Recruiting
Robot-assisted scarless breast-conserving surgery for breast cancer
This trial uses a robotic arm through the armpit to remove breast cancer while leaving no visible scar on the chest. It is for women with early-stage breast cancer who want to keep their breast and avoid a scar.
Chongqing, Chongqing MunicipalityAges 18–65 - NCT06931548Recruiting
Preserving the breast fold in reconstruction
This study tests a surgical technique to better preserve the natural fold under the breast (the inframammary fold) during implant-based breast reconstruction. It may help improve the cosmetic result after breast cancer treatment.
Moscow, Skolkovo Innovation CenterAges 18 years+ - NCT06869629Recruiting
Avoiding armpit lymph node removal in breast cancer
This trial tests whether it is safe to skip removing lymph nodes from the armpit when cancer has spread there but has been found by ultrasound. If you have breast cancer that has spread to armpit lymph nodes and are not getting chemotherapy before surgery, this study may be an option.
HelsinkiAges 18 years+ - NCT06716073Recruiting
Endoscopic vs standard breast-conserving surgery after chemo
This study compares two types of breast-conserving surgery for women who have already had chemotherapy before their operation. It aims to see if using a tiny camera (endoscope) leads to equally good long-term results as standard breast-conserving surgery.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT06401304Recruiting
Value-based breast surgery outcomes study
This study looks at how well breast-conserving surgery (lumpectomy) works for women with breast cancer or other breast conditions. It will track how you feel, how you look, and your overall satisfaction to help improve future care.
SydneyAges 18 years+ - NCT06092892RecruitingPhase 2
Upfront targeted lymph node removal for early breast cancer
This trial is for women age 45 and older with early ER-positive breast cancer that has spread to the lymph nodes under the arm. It tests a surgery approach where the main tumor and only a few key lymph nodes (rather than many) are removed.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 45 years+ - NCT07483034Enrolling by invitation
Music therapy for anxiety during breast cancer treatment
This study tests whether listening to specially chosen music while you're in the hospital for breast cancer treatment can help lower anxiety and depression. It also looks at how music might affect certain substances in your blood that are linked to stress and healing.

Manchester, United KingdomAges 18–65 - NCT07484087Recruiting
Ablation vs. Surgery for Early Breast Cancer
This trial compares a less invasive treatment called ablation (which uses extreme cold to destroy the tumor) with standard surgery for early-stage breast cancer. It is for women aged 50 or older with a small, low-risk tumor that has not spread.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 50 years+ - NCT04616300Recruiting
Exercise program to support brain function during breast cancer chemo
This trial studies whether a structured exercise program can help protect or improve thinking and memory in people with breast cancer while they are starting chemotherapy after surgery. It may help with “chemo brain” by targeting brain function during treatment.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18–65 - NCT06686459Recruiting
