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 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.
This study compares two timing options for rebuilding the breast with implants, looking at cosmetic results, quality of life, and patient satisfaction. It may help you understand which approach could fit you better and what to expect over follow-up time.
This trial compares two ways to remove breast cancer while keeping the breast: one uses small incisions and a camera (laparoscopic), the other uses a traditional larger cut. The goal is to see which method is safer and leaves a better-looking result.
This study compares two surgical techniques for removing early-stage breast cancer while preserving the breast. It aims to see which approach gives better cosmetic results and cancer control.
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 study compares two ways to remove the breast tissue while keeping the nipple and skin: a conventional (open) surgery versus a endoscopic (minimally invasive) surgery, both followed by immediate implant reconstruction. The goal is to see which approach leads to better feeling (sensory recovery) in the breast after surgery.
