HandX-assisted endoscopic mastectomy study for breast cancer
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This trial tests a new, less invasive way to remove breast tissue using a small camera (endoscope) with a device called HandX. It's for women who need a mastectomy for early-stage breast cancer, DCIS, or to reduce high risk, and aims to see if it's safe and works well.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be female and at least 18 years old.
- You need a mastectomy for early invasive breast cancer (stages I-II), DCIS, or to lower your risk if you have a BRCA gene mutation or high risk.
- Your breast size should be between cup A and C, and the implant volume needed would be less than 550cc.
- You must be generally healthy enough for surgery (ECOG score less than 2).
- You must not smoke or use nicotine for at least 4 weeks before surgery.
- Your BMI must be 35 or less, and you should not have poorly controlled health problems like diabetes or heart disease.

This study tests a new, less invasive surgery called endoscopic mastectomy for women who need breast removal. It aims to see how well the surgery works, how the breast looks and feels afterward, and whether nipple sensation is preserved.
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 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.
This study tests a less invasive mastectomy for people with breast cancer. The surgery uses a small camera (endoscope) to remove breast tissue while keeping the nipple, and reconstruction is done at the same time.
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 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.
