Comparing two breast-conserving surgery methods for larger breasts
Part of Cancer, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study compares two types of breast-conserving surgery that also reshape the breast (oncoplastic surgery). One method uses a smaller scar, the other a larger scar (Wise pattern). The goal is to find which gives better results for women with larger or sagging breasts.
