Breast-conserving surgery for central breast cancer study
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This trial compares breast-conserving surgery (removing only the tumor and nearby tissue) to total mastectomy (removing the whole breast) for women with breast cancer in the central area of the breast. The goal is to see if the less extensive surgery works just as well.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman between 18 and 70 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with invasive breast cancer or certain early-stage cancers like DCIS or Paget's disease.
- The tumor is in one spot only, not spread to multiple areas of the breast or other organs.
- Your cancer has not spread to nearby lymph nodes beyond stage N1.
- You have not had any other cancer or major surgery recently, and you do not have serious infections or heart problems.

This trial is testing whether breast-conserving surgery (removing only the tumor and a small rim of healthy tissue) is safe when you have more than one cancer spot in the same breast. If you qualify, you would have the surgery followed by standard radiation therapy.
This study compares two different surgical approaches for removing early-stage breast cancer while preserving the breast. You may qualify if you have a single, small tumor and want to keep your breast.
This trial is for women aged 55 or older with very early-stage breast cancer (stage 0 or 1) who want to save their breast. It tests giving a single dose of radiation during the lumpectomy instead of weeks of daily radiation afterward.
This trial tests a shorter course of radiation to just part of the breast before surgery for women who have had breast cancer return in the same breast. It's for those who have already had radiation to that breast and have a specific type of cancer (ER+, HER2-).
This trial is testing whether giving radiation to nearby lymph nodes after surgery can help prevent breast cancer from coming back. It is for women with a specific type of breast cancer that has spread to a few lymph nodes but can be removed with 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.
