Trial Identification

Brief Title: Safety and Aesthetic Outcomes of Breast Conserving Surgery With Peri-areolar Incision Approach

Official Title: Randomized Controlled Trial of Safety and Aesthetic Outcomes of Breast-conserving Surgery With the Peri-areolar Incision Approach

Study ID: NCT01412788

Conditions

Breast Cancer

Interventions

peri-areolar incision

traditional incision

Study Description

Brief Summary: Cosmetic result after breast-conserving surgery (BCS) would impose great effect upon patient's quality of life. Although peri-areolar incision has been widely used in benign breast tumor excision, mastopexy procedures and skin-sparing mastectomy with primary reconstruction, the actual safety and aesthetic outcome of the peri-areolar incision approach in BCS for cancer patients has not been established by randomized, controlled trials. This trial was design to compare the Safety and aesthetic outcomes of breast conserving surgery between peri-areolar incision approach and traditional methods.

Detailed Description: The Trial aims to determine whether BCS with the peri-areolar approach: 1) is safe in terms of the rates of recurrence and metastasis; 2) can improve the post-operative aesthetic score and QOL score.
