-
HandX-assisted endoscopic nipple-sparing mastectomy (ATHENA I)
This study tests whether a handheld robotic device called HandX can help surgeons safely perform a minimally invasive nipple-sparing mastectomy with immediate implant reconstruction for women having therapeutic or risk-reducing mastectomy.
-
Radiation therapy for early-stage breast cancer using a shorter treatment schedule
This study is testing a shorter radiation treatment schedule for women 50 and older with early-stage breast cancer to see if it is safe and effective while reducing the number of visits needed.
-
Delayed sentinel node biopsy for patients with DCIS undergoing mastectomy
This study is testing a new way to handle lymph node surgery for women with DCIS who are having a mastectomy, by marking the lymph node to remove later only if invasive cancer is found, to avoid unnecessary surgeries.
-
Using nanoparticles for delayed lymph node biopsy in breast cancer patients
This study is testing if using special nanoparticles can help breast cancer patients avoid unnecessary surgery by identifying important lymph nodes only when needed.
-
Shortened radiation therapy for women with breast cancer
This study is testing if a shorter 3-day radiation treatment for breast cancer can work just as well and cause fewer side effects for women after surgery.
-
MRI-guided radiation therapy for early breast cancer
This study is testing a new way to give radiation therapy for early breast cancer that uses MRI to protect healthy tissue and can be done in just one week.
-
Registry for patients with ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS)
This study is trying to see how the results of a specific test for ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) can change the treatment choices doctors make for patients with this condition.

In 5 countries. The most sites are in United States (5 trials), Hong Kong (1 trial), Sweden (1 trial), Greece (1 trial), South Korea (1 trial). Each study page lists its sites and which ones are recruiting.
What phases are they in?
Phase 2: 3, Phase 3: 1. Trials with no phase listed are usually device, behavioural or observational studies.
How do I join one?
Open a study, check the "Is this trial a fit for you?" section, then contact the study team listed on the page. They will ask a few screening questions. Asking is free and does not commit you to anything. Talk it over with your doctor first.
