Robotic breast-conserving surgery through the armpit for early-stage breast cancer
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This trial tests a new robotic technique for removing early-stage breast cancer through the armpit, leaving no scar on the chest. It may be an option for women who want to keep their breast shape and avoid visible scarring.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are at least 18 years old.
- You have early-stage breast cancer (Stage I).
- You strongly prefer no scar on your chest.
- You have not had previous chest surgery or radiation.
- Your tumor is not too extensive and can be removed with clear margins, preserving a good breast appearance.

This study compares a newer, less invasive robotic method for breast cancer surgery with the standard approach. It aims to see if using a single-port robot can help remove the cancer while keeping the breast or reconstructing it with an implant, with fewer side effects and better cosmetic results.
This trial tests a robotic-assisted surgery technique for women who need a mastectomy but can keep their skin and nipple. It aims to improve outcomes for breast cancer patients and those at high risk.
This study tests a new robotic-assisted surgery technique for breast cancer. It aims to remove the breast tissue while keeping the nipple and skin, and then place a breast implant in the same operation, which may help improve cosmetic results and recovery.
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 study tests a less invasive surgery for breast cancer. It uses a single small opening and a robotic arm to remove breast tissue while keeping the skin and nipple, then rebuilds the breast right away. This might mean less scarring and a faster recovery while still treating the cancer.
This trial tests a robotic technique for nipple-sparing mastectomy with immediate breast reconstruction. The goal is to see if this approach is safe and effective for patients who are candidates for this surgery.
