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 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 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 looks at how women feel after having a robotic nipple-sparing mastectomy with immediate implant reconstruction. It focuses on their well-being and satisfaction after surgery.
This study compares two breast reconstruction techniques after a mastectomy to see which one gives better results. Participating may help you rebuild your breast shape in a way that feels more natural to you.
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.
This study looks at women who had a delayed breast reconstruction using a small camera (endoscope) and an implant, at least 6 months after their mastectomy. It aims to see how safe and effective this procedure is.
