Impact of Breast Conservation Surgery on Surgical Outcomes and Cosmesis in Patients with Multiple Ipsilateral Breast Cancers (MIBC)
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the removal of only the tumor tissues from the breast (breast conservation surgery or lumpectomy) is as effective as removal of the entire breast (mastectomy) at preventing recurrence of breast cancer for women with multiple tumors in one breast. This study will measure recurrence in women having breast conservation surgery and radiation therapy.
Multiple ipsilateral breast cancers
1. Female aged 40 or older
2. No metastatic disease
40 - 100
Healthy Volunteers Needed
Duration of Participation
For 5 years after completion of surgery and radiation therapy as part of your regular care, or until you withdraw your consent.
