Endoscopic vs standard breast-conserving surgery after chemo
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 75 years old.
- You must have invasive breast cancer that has been confirmed by a biopsy.
- You must have already received chemotherapy before your surgery.
- Your cancer must be in only one breast and not have spread to distant parts of the body.
- You must be in good general health with adequate heart, liver, kidney, and blood cell counts as measured by routine tests.

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 tests whether some women with HER2-positive breast cancer can safely avoid breast surgery if their tumor nearly disappears after chemotherapy. It uses MRI and biopsy results to find people most likely to have no remaining cancer (pCR).
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.
This trial tests a new imaging system that helps surgeons see if cancer cells remain after breast-conserving surgery. It may reduce the need for a second surgery by giving real-time feedback on the removed tissue.
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 trial compares a newer, less invasive endoscopic surgery (using a single small cut) to the traditional open surgery for removing breast cancer while keeping the breast. It's for women with early-stage breast cancer who want a breast-conserving option.
