Recruiting studies
- NCT07350928RecruitingPhase 3
Nasal spray before breast-saving surgery for calm wakefulness
This trial tests a nasal spray (dexmedetomidine) given before breast-conserving surgery to help you stay calm and comfortable while awake during the procedure. It aims to improve your recovery and waking experience after surgery.
TianjinAges 20–70 - NCT07206394Recruiting
Scar massage for pain after breast cancer surgery
This trial tests if a gentle scar massage technique called ScarWork can help reduce pain that continues after breast cancer surgery and radiation. If you are at least 6 months past radiation and still have pain, this study may be a good fit for you.
LondonAges 18 years+ - NCT04669873Recruiting
Partial breast radiation vs whole breast radiation after lumpectomy
This trial studies whether treating only part of the breast with radiation works as well as treating the whole breast in people with early breast cancer after lumpectomy. It may help reduce radiation exposure to healthy tissue, while still controlling the cancer.
São Paulo, São PauloAges 50–90 - NCT06839001RecruitingPhase 3
Freezing small breast tumors instead of surgery trial
This study tests if freezing a very small early-stage breast tumor (cryoablation) can be as effective as surgery. It may be an option for people whose tumor is small enough and hasn't spread to lymph nodes or elsewhere.
São Paulo, São PauloAges 18 years+ - NCT06947642Recruiting
Comparing numbing blocks for breast surgery
This study compares three ways of numbing the chest muscle and rib area with ultrasound during breast surgery to see which one works best for pain control. If you are having breast surgery and want to help improve pain management, this might be a good fit.
Tanta, El-GharbiaAges 21–65 - NCT06977698Recruiting
Detecting cancer margins during breast surgery
This study tests a new method to check for leftover cancer cells and lymph node spread during breast surgery. It may help doctors make sure all cancer is removed the first time.
NottinghamAges Any age - NCT07686250RecruitingPhase 2
SAVI Scout for breast cancer surgery localization
This trial studies a new method (SAVI Scout) to help surgeons locate and remove breast tumors more precisely during surgery. It may reduce the need for multiple markers and improve outcomes.
Tampa, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06507345Recruiting
Non-opioid pain relief after breast surgery
This trial tests whether non-opioid pain medicines can effectively control pain after mastectomy or lumpectomy, allowing you to go home the same day without needing strong opioids.
Montreal, QuebecAges 18 years+ - NCT07547774Recruiting
Sleep Quality Before Breast Surgery and Recovery Outcomes
This study examines how well you sleep before breast cancer surgery and whether it affects your recovery afterward. Researchers will ask about your sleep habits and track your healing to understand the connection.
Ankara, YenimahalleAges 18–70 - NCT07579117Recruiting
Video-Assisted Breast Surgery With Nipple Preservation
This trial tests a minimally invasive surgical technique that removes breast tissue while preserving the nipple and immediately reconstructing the breast. It may be suitable if you have early-stage breast cancer or are at high genetic risk and need preventive breast removal.
MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT06799858Recruiting
Magnetic seed for locating breast cancer tumors
This trial uses a tiny magnetic seed called Sirius Pintuition to help surgeons find and remove breast cancer that cannot be felt by hand. It may make surgery more precise and easier for you.
OpavaAges 18–99 - NCT07613151Recruiting
Study of a rare type of breast cancer with special features
This research study looks at a specific, uncommon type of breast cancer called invasive lobular carcinoma (ILC) that has special cell features and does not respond to hormone therapies. Researchers are collecting information from patients treated at partner hospitals to better understand this cancer type and improve future treatment.
PadovaAges 18 years+ - NCT06498154RecruitingPhase 2
Skipping breast surgery for some patients after chemo
This trial tests whether women with certain aggressive breast cancers (HER2-positive without hormone receptors, or triple-negative) can safely skip breast surgery if chemotherapy makes their tumor completely disappear. The goal is to avoid surgery and its side effects when it may no longer be needed.
TianjinAges 18–70 - NCT07586319Enrolling by invitation
Surgery to improve survival in early-stage spread breast cancer
This study tests whether surgery to remove cancer spots can help people with breast cancer that has spread to a few places live longer. You would receive standard cancer medicines plus surgery if you qualify.
Lahore, Punjab ProvinceAges 18 years+ - NCT07743294Recruiting
Exercise before breast cancer surgery to reduce arm swelling
This trial tests whether doing specific exercises before breast cancer surgery helps reduce arm swelling (lymphedema) after surgery, and improves quality of life and care needs. You would participate in a supervised exercise program before your surgery and then follow up after.
TaipeiAges 20 years+ - NCT07729735Enrolling by invitation
Physiotherapy after breast reduction surgery
This study tests whether adding physical therapy after breast reduction surgery helps you recover faster and feel better. You must be between 18 and 50, have had cosmetic breast reduction, and be free of certain health conditions like arm swelling or nerve problems.
IstanbulAges 18–50 - NCT03975179Recruiting
Frozen biopsy vs no frozen biopsy during breast-conserving surgery
This study compares two approaches during breast-conserving surgery: doing a quick “frozen section” biopsy during the operation versus deciding later without it. It aims to see which approach better guides treatment decisions about whether the cancer is close to the removed tissue edges (margins).
Goyang-siAges 19–70 - NCT04025164Recruiting
Shorter vs standard breast radiation after lumpectomy
This study compares a shorter course of radiation to a standard longer course after breast-conserving surgery (lumpectomy). It’s meant to see which schedule works just as well while focusing on safety and cancer control.
Guiyang, GuizhouAges 18–70 - NCT04933266Recruiting
Nerve block plan for breast surgery
This trial studies a type of pain-control injection (a nerve block) to help with anesthesia during breast cancer surgery. It may help improve comfort and reduce pain around the operation.
Sheung Shui, New TerritoriesAges 18–80 - NCT05766891RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Nurse-led hypnosis to reduce opioid pain meds for breast surgery
This trial tests whether nurse-delivered hypnosis during breast cancer surgery can help you need less opioid pain medicine after surgery. It may make recovery more comfortable while aiming to lower opioid use.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06174363Recruiting
Pain Relief Study for Breast Cancer Surgery
This study tests a combination pain medicine (Maxigesic) to see how well it controls pain after breast cancer surgery. It may help you need fewer opioids after your operation.
SeoulAges 20–70 - NCT06265558Recruiting
Vacuum dressing to prevent wound problems after breast cancer surgery
This study tests a special vacuum dressing (negative pressure therapy) to prevent wound problems after complex breast cancer surgery. It's for women who have risk factors for poor healing and are having a mastectomy with immediate reconstruction or a certain breast-conserving surgery.
Dijon, Côte d'OrAges 18 years+ - NCT06404983Recruiting
Opioid-free anesthesia for breast cancer surgery
This study tests whether breast cancer surgery can be done safely without using opioid pain medicines during anesthesia. The goal is to see if avoiding opioids leads to fewer side effects and a smoother recovery.
Ioannina, EpirusAges 18–99 - NCT06595966Recruiting
Blood test study for early detection of breast cancer return
This study looks for tiny bits of cancer DNA in your blood after breast cancer surgery. A blood test called NGS may help doctors find early signs of cancer coming back, and you would give samples and have checkups for 3 years.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18 years+

- How do I know if I qualify for a breast surgery trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a breast surgery trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
