A Retrospective Analysis of Robot-Assisted Versus Endoscopic Breast-Conserving Surgery for Breast Cancer

Conditions

Summary

Robotic surgical systems provide notable advantages including enhanced dexterity, a magnified three-dimensional high-definition view, and high-resolution imaging, thereby improving operative stability and precision. These features make robotic systems particularly suitable for procedures performed within confined operative spaces. As the breast is a solid organ without a natural cavity, robotic systems demonstrate strong adaptability for breast surgery. Robot-assisted breast-conserving surgery (RABCS) is one of the currently utilized robotic techniques in clinical breast cancer surgery. However, as robotic breast surgery remains in its early stage of development, evidence regarding the clinical outcomes of RABCS remains limited in the literature. Therefore, this study compares the surgical outcomes of endoscopic breast-conserving surgery and robot-assisted breast-conserving surgery in breast cancer patients, aiming to assess and elucidate the clinical value of RABCS.

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is looking back at medical records to compare two types of breast-conserving surgery — robot-assisted surgery and endoscopic surgery — to see which approach works better and leads to better outcomes for women with breast cancer who want to keep their breast. **You may be eligible if...** - You are a woman aged 18–80 with confirmed breast cancer - Your tumor is small relative to your breast size (tumor takes up 20% or less of breast volume) - You have a single tumor limited to the breast tissue (not spread to skin or chest wall) - You want to keep your breast and are open to either robot or endoscopic surgery - You can receive radiation therapy after surgery **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You have widespread suspicious areas or microcalcifications that make it hard to remove the cancer with clear margins - You have cancer in both breasts or inflammatory breast cancer - You need additional procedures at the same time as breast surgery - You cannot tolerate general anesthesia - You have had previous radiation to the chest wall, or are pregnant Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
