Breast-Conserving Surgery Comparison for Early Breast Cancer
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Female patient between 18 and 70 years old
- Confirmed invasive breast cancer or ductal carcinoma in situ (early-stage cancer cells in the milk ducts)
- Single tumor that is 3 cm or smaller and located in the outer or inner quadrants of the breast
- Tumor is at least 2 cm away from the nipple
- Willing to have radiation therapy after surgery and strongly want to keep your breast
- Able to provide informed consent and sign study paperwork

This trial compares two types of breast-conserving surgery: one done with small cuts and a camera (laparoscopic) and the traditional open method. It looks at safety and how the breast looks afterward, to see if the newer method works as well or better.
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 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 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 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.
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.
