Read our Breast Cancer research guide →This is a large observational study following 1,200 women who have breast-conserving surgery for breast cancer or related conditions. The study will collect information about surgical techniques, how the breast looks and feels after surgery, and how satisfied patients are with their results—comparing different surgical approaches used in real-world practice.
Breast-conserving surgery has become popular because it removes cancer while preserving the breast, but doctors use many different techniques tailored to each patient. This study exists to understand which approaches work best, whether new techniques truly improve results without causing more problems, and how to make treatment decisions that balance cancer control with quality of life and cosmetic outcomes.

You will have your breast-conserving surgery performed by your surgical team as part of your regular cancer care. The study will then collect information about your surgery, your recovery, how your breast looks and feels over time, and your satisfaction with the results through medical records and patient questionnaires. Follow-up may occur over several months to years depending on the study protocol.
