Sensation after nipple-sparing mastectomy with implant
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman age 18 to 70.
- You have breast cancer that has not spread beyond the breast.
- You are scheduled for a nipple-sparing mastectomy with immediate implant reconstruction.
- Your tumor is 5 cm or smaller (or ductal carcinoma in situ) and at least 1 cm away from the nipple.
- You have no serious health problems, no prior chest radiation, and no other active cancer.
- You are not pregnant or nursing, and your breast size is smaller than a D cup.

This study looks at how women feel after having a nipple-sparing mastectomy (where the nipple is kept) and immediate breast reconstruction with an implant, using a robotic single-port technique. It aims to see if this approach improves well-being and patient satisfaction.
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 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 compares two types of mastectomy (with skin and nipple options) and implant reconstruction to see which gives better cosmetic results, comfort, and satisfaction. You may help doctors learn which approach leads to a better quality of life after 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.
