Comparing local versus general anesthesia for breast cancer surgery
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This study compares two types of anesthesia during breast cancer surgery (lumpectomy): local anesthesia (numbing the area) versus general anesthesia (being asleep). The goal is to see which approach is more practical and helpful for patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial compares two ways to remove breast cancer while keeping the breast: one uses small incisions and a camera (laparoscopic), the other uses a traditional larger cut. The goal is to see which method is safer and leaves a better-looking result.
This trial studies whether a pain-control technique called regional anesthesia during certain breast surgeries can lower chronic (long-lasting) pain after surgery. It may help improve comfort and quality of life for people at risk of ongoing pain after their breast operation.
This study compares two ways of giving anesthesia during breast cancer surgery to see how they affect the immune system and outcomes after surgery. It may help identify which anesthesia approach is better for people like you having early-stage, operable breast cancer surgery.
This trial compares two breast-conserving surgery techniques to see how they affect cosmetic results (how the breast looks), quality of life, and patient satisfaction. It may help guide the best surgical approach for people eligible for breast conservation.
This study compares two surgical techniques for removing early-stage breast cancer while preserving the breast. It aims to see which approach gives better cosmetic results and cancer control.
This study tests whether breast cancer surgery can be done safely without using opioid pain medicines during anesthesia. The goal is to see if avoiding opioids leads to fewer side effects and a smoother recovery.
