Comparing decision on match of expectations and aesthetics using a conventional versus a cloud-based healthcare platform approach in breast cancer patients proposed for locoregional treatment: a prospective randomized trial
NCT ID NCT05196269
First seen Sep 10, 2026 · Last updated Sep 10, 2026
Summary
Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer, with an estimated 2.3 million new cases per year globally. Approximately 90% of these patients will undergo breast surgery with/without radiation (locoregional treatment). Different surgical techniques can be offered to the patient, each leading to completely different aesthetic outcomes. Moreover, the aesthetic outcome could be completely different for patients undergoing the same surgery based on individual patient factors (e.g., age, body habitus). In the CINDERELLA trial, the investigators will be using the (Breast Locoregional (BreLO) AI system (an artificial intelligence-based tool for the classification of aesthetic outcomes and matching data and photographs) integrated into CANKADO (a cloud-based healthcare platform) to create an easy-to-use application that can be used on any electronic device, to simulate visually to the patient the aesthetic outcome of a certain surgery or radiation treatment. In the CINDERELLA trial, the investigators plan to compare whether the application helped fulfil the expectations and lead to a better quality of life compared with the classical approach. In the classical approach (control arm), doctors usually propose a locoregional treatment and explain theoretically how the result will be. Nurses help by explaining further details about the surgery and possible outcomes. In most centres, no photographic evaluation is done, and expectations are not measured. The CINDERELLA trial will help overcome miscommunication and potential boundaries in the patient's or physician's understanding of the potential outcomes of locoregional breast cancer treatment.
