Breast reconstruction after mastectomy for breast cancer
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This trial tests how safe and effective it is to remove the breast (mastectomy) and rebuild it right away during the same surgery. It is for women with early-stage breast cancer who want reconstruction instead of breast-sparing surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman aged 18 to 75.
- You have been diagnosed with breast cancer (stage 0 to III) through a needle biopsy and plan to have surgery on one breast.
- Your tumor is at least 1 centimeter from the nipple and either 2-3 cm in size or shrunk to that size with chemotherapy before surgery.
- You want reconstruction rather than breast-sparing surgery, or you have a high genetic risk like BRCA1/2 mutation.
- No signs that the cancer has spread to the skin, chest wall, nipple, or distant parts of your body.
- You are generally healthy, with no history of other cancers or serious illnesses that would interfere with surgery or follow-up.

This trial tests a single-port robotic procedure to remove breast tissue while preserving the nipple and areola, followed by immediate reconstruction with a breast implant. It may be an option for patients who want mastectomy with reconstruction instead of breast-conserving surgery.
This study compares two different surgical techniques for rebuilding the breast after mastectomy (breast removal surgery). The goal is to determine which method provides better results for appearance, comfort, and function.
This trial tests a new way to remove the breast through a small cut in the armpit (endoscopic nipple-sparing mastectomy) and immediately rebuild the breast using your own fat. It's for women with early-stage breast cancer who want to keep their nipple and have reconstruction at the same time.
This study tests a new way to remove breast tissue using a single-port robot through a small incision, with immediate reconstruction of the breast. It may be an option for women with early-stage breast cancer who want to keep their breast shape after surgery.
This study looks at a type of delayed breast reconstruction called endoscopic direct-to-implant breast reconstruction. It aims to understand how well it works for women who had a mastectomy at least 6 months earlier.
This study looks at how women feel after having a nipple-sparing mastectomy (where the nipple is kept) and immediate breast reconstruction with an implant, using a robotic single-port technique. It aims to see if this approach improves well-being and patient satisfaction.
