Safety of nipple-sparing mastectomy for women with high-risk genes
Part of Cancer, Genetic & congenital, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at the long-term safety of a type of breast surgery (nipple-sparing mastectomy) in women who carry certain inherited gene changes (BRCA1, BRCA2, PALB2, TP53, CDH1, or PTEN) that increase their risk of breast cancer. The goal is to understand how safe this surgery is over time for these women.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You were assigned female at birth.
- You are 18 years of age or older.
- You have a confirmed harmful gene change (mutation) in BRCA1, BRCA2, PALB2, TP53, CDH1, or PTEN found through genetic testing before you had any cancer symptoms.
- You have never had breast cancer.
- You have never had ovarian cancer.
- You have never had both breasts removed before your genetic testing.
- You do not have a gene change of uncertain importance without a known harmful gene change.

This trial looks at whether a robotic technique for nipple-sparing mastectomy is safe and practical to do. It may help your care team understand whether this approach works well for people who are candidates for nipple-sparing surgery.
This trial tests a minimally invasive surgical technique that removes breast tissue while preserving the nipple and immediately reconstructing the breast. It may be suitable if you have early-stage breast cancer or are at high genetic risk and need preventive breast removal.
This trial compares two ways of doing a nipple-sparing mastectomy to see which one helps preserve more feeling in your breast afterward. If you are having this type of surgery with an implant, you may be eligible.
This study tests a robotic technique for nipple-sparing mastectomy (removing breast tissue but keeping the nipple) with immediate reconstruction. It may be a good option if you need a mastectomy and want to preserve your nipple, have no signs of cancer there, and have a smaller breast size.
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 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.
