Robotic breast surgery for early-stage breast cancer
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Are a woman between the ages of 18 and 80.
- Have a confirmed diagnosis of breast cancer that is either invasive (spread into breast tissue) or ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), and it is at an early stage (I or II for breast-conserving surgery, or I to III for mastectomy with reconstruction).
- Are planning to have either breast-conserving surgery or removal of the whole breast with immediate implant reconstruction.
- For breast-conserving surgery: the tumor must be 3 cm or smaller and the breast size should allow for a good cosmetic result.
- Are generally healthy enough for surgery (ECOG score 0-1, ASA class I-III) and have adequate organ function (liver, kidney, blood counts, and clotting).
- Have not had prior breast surgery (except biopsy) or chest wall radiation, and are not pregnant or breastfeeding.

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 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 tests a less invasive surgery for breast cancer. It uses a single small opening and a robotic arm to remove breast tissue while keeping the skin and nipple, then rebuilds the breast right away. This might mean less scarring and a faster recovery while still treating the cancer.
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 looks at how women feel after having a robotic nipple-sparing mastectomy with immediate implant reconstruction. It focuses on their well-being and satisfaction after surgery.
This trial looks at whether a robotic technique for nipple-sparing mastectomy is safe and practical to do. It may help your care team understand whether this approach works well for people who are candidates for nipple-sparing surgery.
