Breast-conserving surgery methods compared for early breast cancer
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman between the ages of 18 and 70.
- You have been diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer that is only in one spot and has not spread to the skin, chest muscle, or nipple area.
- Your tumor is no larger than 3 centimeters and is at least 2 centimeters away from the nipple.
- You want to keep your breast and are able to receive radiation therapy after surgery.
- You have not had breast cancer surgery before and do not carry known breast cancer genetic mutations.

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 breast-conserving surgery (removing only the tumor and nearby tissue) to total mastectomy (removing the whole breast) for women with breast cancer in the central area of the breast. The goal is to see if the less extensive surgery works just as well.
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.
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 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.
This study compares two surgical approaches to remove breast cancer: one that preserves more of the skin (skin-sparing) versus a standard approach. The goal is to see which method results in fewer wound-healing problems after surgery.
