Robot vs. Endoscopic Breast-Conserving Surgery
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This trial looks back at medical records to compare two types of breast-conserving surgery (robot-assisted vs. endoscopic) for women with early-stage breast cancer. It's for women who are good candidates for keeping their breast and who want a less invasive surgical option.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman between 18 and 80 years old.
- Your breast cancer has been confirmed by a biopsy before surgery.
- Your tumor is small enough (less than 20% of your breast volume) and located in one spot.
- You want to keep your breast (breast-conserving surgery) and are open to having it done with a robot or an endoscope.
- Your cancer has not spread to other parts of your body, skin, or chest wall.
- You are able to have standard radiation therapy after surgery.

This study compares a newer, less invasive robotic method for breast cancer surgery with the standard approach. It aims to see if using a single-port robot can help remove the cancer while keeping the breast or reconstructing it with an implant, with fewer side effects and better cosmetic results.
This study tests a new robotic-assisted surgery technique for breast cancer. It aims to remove the breast tissue while keeping the nipple and skin, and then place a breast implant in the same operation, which may help improve cosmetic results and recovery.
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 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 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 trial compares two breast-conserving surgery techniques to see how they affect cosmetic results (how the breast looks), quality of life, and patient satisfaction. It may help guide the best surgical approach for people eligible for breast conservation.
