Nipple-sparing mastectomy with immediate reconstruction (fat and implant)
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This trial tests a breast cancer surgery that removes the breast but saves the nipple, followed by immediate reconstruction with an implant and some of your own fat. It's for women with early-stage cancer that hasn't spread to lymph nodes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman between 18 and 70 years old.
- Your breast cancer is new, in one breast only, and the main tumor is 5 cm or smaller (or just DCIS).
- The tumor hasn't spread to the nipple, skin, chest wall, or armpit lymph nodes.
- You're having a nipple-sparing mastectomy with immediate reconstruction (implant, mesh, and some fat grafting).
- You don't currently smoke and haven't had previous breast implants or fat injections.

This trial tests a new way to remove the breast through a small cut in the armpit (endoscopic nipple-sparing mastectomy) and immediately rebuild the breast using your own fat. It's for women with early-stage breast cancer who want to keep their nipple and have reconstruction at the same time.
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 trial compares two surgical approaches to remove the breast using a nipple-sparing mastectomy and do immediate breast reconstruction—either robot-assisted or open surgery. It aims to see how well each method works and how patients do afterward.
This trial tests a single-port robotic procedure to remove breast tissue while preserving the nipple and areola, followed by immediate reconstruction with a breast implant. It may be an option for patients who want mastectomy with reconstruction instead of breast-conserving surgery.
This trial tests a less invasive surgery for early-stage breast cancer that removes breast tissue through a single small cut in the armpit while keeping the nipple. It may be an option for women with small to medium breasts who are candidates for immediate breast reconstruction.
