Nipple-Sparing mastectomy shows promise in breast cancer trial
NCT ID NCT02311959
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a type of breast cancer surgery called nipple-sparing mastectomy, where the breast tissue is removed but the nipple and skin are kept. It involved 450 women with early-stage breast cancer who needed a full mastectomy. The goal was to see if this surgery keeps the cancer from coming back in the same area while improving appearance and quality of life.
