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 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 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 looks at how safe breast-conserving surgery (lumpectomy) is for women who have more than one tumor in the same breast. It aims to see if removing just the tumors and keeping most of the breast is a good option, followed by radiation therapy to reduce the risk of the cancer coming back.
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 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 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.
