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 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.
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 robotic technique for nipple-sparing mastectomy with immediate breast reconstruction. The goal is to see if this approach is safe and effective for patients who are candidates for this 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.
