Endoscopic Breast Surgery in Treating Patients With Breast Cancer

February 5, 2014 updated by: University of Southern California

Endoscopic Breast Surgery Feasibility Study

RATIONALE: Endoscopic breast surgery (EBS) is a less invasive type of surgery for breast cancer and may have fewer side effects and improve recovery. PURPOSE: This clinical trial studies endoscopic breast surgery in treating patients with breast cancer.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To determine the surgical complication rate in patients undergoing EBS for benign or malignant disease and the 5-year local recurrence rate following endoscopic breast surgery among subjects undergoing EBS for breast cancer at USC. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. To evaluate the safety, breast cosmesis and patient quality of life following EBS. OUTLINE: Patients undergo endoscopic breast surgery. After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 6 months for 5 years.
