Comparing breast-conserving surgeries and how you feel after
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This trial compares two breast-conserving surgery techniques to see how they affect cosmetic results (how the breast looks), quality of life, and patient satisfaction. It may help guide the best surgical approach for people eligible for breast conservation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be under age 65
- Have cancer in one breast (not both), and the main tumor is small (less than 3 cm)
- Be able to have breast-conserving surgery (lumpectomy-type), and your case does not require a mastectomy
- Have not had any previous breast surgery or prior breast/axilla radiation
- Be willing to come for required checkups and follow-up visits
- Have no past history of invasive cancer (except non-melanoma skin cancer) and no major prior complications that affect healing
- Not have conditions that may interfere with results, such as autoimmune disease or long-term steroid use

This trial compares two types of breast-conserving surgery: one done with small cuts and a camera (laparoscopic) and the traditional open method. It looks at safety and how the breast looks afterward, to see if the newer method works as well or better.
This study compares two different surgical approaches for removing early-stage breast cancer while preserving the breast. You may qualify if you have a single, small tumor and want to keep your breast.
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.
This trial looks back at medical records to compare two types of breast-conserving surgery (robot-assisted vs. endoscopic) for women with early-stage breast cancer. It's for women who are good candidates for keeping their breast and who want a less invasive surgical option.
