Conditions
Breast Cancer
Registration Number
NCT06671249
Lead Sponsor
Second Affiliated Hospital, School of Medicine, Zhejiang University
Brief Summary

In recent years, laparoscopic breast cancer surgery has received wide attention. It has advantages of minimal invasiveness, clear anatomical exposure, and good aesthetic effects. Based on these advantages, we propose whether laparoscopy is suitable for breast-conserving surgery for breast cancer. The standard procedure of laparoscopic breast-conserving surgery is unclear. More high-quality clinical studies are required. Therefore, we intend to conduct a multi-center, open, productive, randomized controlled study comparing the safety and cosmetic effects of endoscopic breast-conserving with traditional open breast-conserving surgery.

Detailed Description

In recent years, laparoscopic breast cancer surgery has received wide attention. It has advantages of minimal invasiveness, clear anatomical exposure, and good aesthetic effects. Based on these advantages, we propose whether laparoscopy is suitable for breast-conserving surgery for breast cancer. The standard procedure of laparoscopic breast-conserving surgery is unclear. More high-quality clinical studies are required to ensure the efficiency of cure. Also, less scars and breast preservation has becoming more and more important for patients' acceptance to the treatment. Therefore, we intend to conduct a multi-center, open, productive, randomized controlled study comparing the safety and cosmetic effects of endoscopic breast-conserving with traditional open breast-conserving surgery.

PARALLEL
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
breast appearance satisfaction2 years

Whether laparoscopic breast-conserving and traditional open breast-conserving had significant differences postoperative cosmetic outcomes. One of the evaluation indicators is breast appearance satisfaction. Our study chooses BREAST-Q questionnaire to evaluate patients' breast appearance satisfaction.

breast aesthetic scores2 years

Whether laparoscopic breast-conserving and traditional open breast-conserving had significant differences postoperative cosmetic outcomes. Another of the evaluation indicators is breast aesthetic scores. We will invite two Plastic surgeons who did not participate in the study to judge patients' photographs, which is taken 18 months after the surgery, according to the Harris evaluation criteria.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Complications1 year

The study focus on intraoperative/postoperative complications between endoscopic breast-conserving and traditional open breast-conserving, including bleeding, hematoma, seroma, poor wound healing, nipple/areola necrosis, incision infection and incision dehiscence.

Quality of Life1 year

Whether laparoscopic breast-conserving and traditional open breast-conserving have difference in quality of life. The study measures the quality of life with the EORTC QLQ BR23 questionnaire launched by European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer.

local recurrence rate2 years

Whether laparoscopic breast-conserving and traditional open breast-conserving have difference in local recurrence rate. If local recurrence appears, record the time and location of recurrence.
