Ultrasound-guided vacuum removal plus surgery for early small breast cancer
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This trial tests a less invasive approach for early breast cancer. First, doctors use ultrasound to guide a vacuum device to remove the small tumor (≤2 cm). Then surgery is done. The goal is to see if this combined method works well and is safe for women with early-stage breast cancer.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 70 years old.
- You are female.
- Your breast imaging (ultrasound or mammogram) shows a suspicious area that is rated BI-RADS 4C or 5 (high chance of cancer).
- The tumor is small — 2 centimeters or less in size.
- You have not had any breast cancer treatment before.
- You are willing to have a procedure that uses ultrasound to guide a needle to remove the tumor, followed by surgery.
- You are not pregnant, and your major organs (heart, lungs, liver, kidneys) are healthy enough for surgery.

This trial studies a special vacuum-assisted biopsy taken just before breast surgery to see how well pre-surgery (neoadjuvant) chemotherapy worked. It may help doctors understand whether patients truly had a complete or near-complete response on scans, which can guide next steps.
This study is testing a new, less invasive surgical approach using a single-port robot for removing breast cancer while preserving the breast or nipple. It aims to see if this method is safe and effective for women with early-stage breast cancer, potentially offering better cosmetic results and faster recovery.
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 tests a new way to combine radiation therapy with ultrasound and tiny bubbles to treat breast cancer that has spread to the chest wall or is advanced. It aims to make radiation more effective and safer.
This trial looks at whether some people with breast cancer can safely avoid breast surgery after they respond completely to treatment before surgery. If you have no remaining cancer in the tissue and lymph node tests, this study checks whether the “watch-and-wait” approach is feasible and safe.
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.
