Brief Summary

Sometimes women have more than one breast cancer in the same breast at the same time. These women are usually offered a mastectomy (removal of that breast) and breast reconstruction. It may be possible to treat these patients by removing each cancer using breast-saving surgery (lumpectomies), used for women with only one breast cancer. Databases show that women who had lumpectomies did well, but they may have been healthier before the surgery than those who had a mastectomy. The investigators need to be sure that lumpectomy is effective, safe, and acceptable for this patient group before making it universally available.

    36 Months

Study Arms (2)

Mastectomy +/- reconstruction

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Either a simple mastectomy or skin sparing mastectomy technique will be used. Women in this arm will be offered either immediate or delayed breast reconstruction according to standard practice. Reconstructions will be followed by chemotherapy and/or endocrine therapy as determined by local clinicians . Chest wall and/or regional nodal radiotherapy will be prescribed according to local centre policy.

Procedure: Mastectomy

Therapeutic Mammoplasty

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Therapeutic Mammoplasty (TM) comprises well-established surgical techniques involving volume displacement using breast reduction techniques, or volume replacement to maximize the volume of tissue that can be excised resulting in effective local control whilst maximizing cosmetic outcomes. This group will either have one "disease site" lumpectomy in the case of multifocal tumours or distant "disease site" lumpectomies in multicentric cancers.

Procedure: Therapeutic Mammoplasty

Interventions

MastectomyPROCEDURE

Removal of the whole breast.

Mastectomy +/- reconstruction

Excision via lumpectomy of multifocal or multicentric cancers with breast volume displacement techniques to maximise cosmetic outcomes.

Eligibility Criteria

Age40 Years+
Sexfemale(Gender-based eligibility)
Gender Eligibility DetailsStudy focuses on female breast cancer
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • \>40 years with MIBC, with the largest clinical cancer measuring 50mm as part of multifocal or multicentric "disease sites". 50mm may include the size of a single cancer and its surrounding small satellite cancers (6, 7). Clinically diagnosed (ultrasound and biopsy) either axillary lymph node negative or positive where axillary treatment depends on local policy
  • Two disease foci with a minimum of one invasive focus of breast cancer as defined within a "disease site"
  • Suitable for TM (best practice) using one large lumpectomy (multifocal) or any number of "distant" lumpectomies (multicentric) to excise "disease sites"
  • Fit for adjuvant therapy as per pre-operative evaluations (ECG, Chest X-ray, blood biochemistry)
  • Willing and able to provide written informed consent

You may not qualify if:

  • Neo-adjuvant therapy
  • Women considered high risk by local centre or known to have BRCA1/2 gene mutation
  • Ductal Carcinoma in situ (DCIS) only, and extensive DCIS
  • Bilateral breast cancers
  • Previous breast cancer (invasive or DCIS in either breast)
  • Pregnancy as confirmed on blood tests or ultrasound examination
  • Metastatic disease
  • Any previous type of breast radiotherapy
  • Significant other clinical risk factors and co-morbidities at the discretion of the treating clinicians
  • Previous or concomitant malignancy except adequately treated: non-melanomatous skin cancer; in situ carcinoma of the cervix and in situ melanoma
