The Comparison Between M-E-BCS and C-O-BCS.
Sponsor: Du Zhenggui
Summary
This study is a multicenter, open-label, randomized controlled trial. The study aims to evaluate differences in operative efficiency (e.g., operative time), economic effect, surgical safety (e.g., surgical complication rates), postoperative aesthetics (e.g., BREAST-Q scores, Harris scores, SCAR-Q scores and Ueda scores), and oncological safety (e.g., margin status, no local recurrence survival) between patients undergoing M-E-BCS and patients undergoing C-O-BCS.

Minimal accessory-incision-assisted endoscopic breast-conserving surgery
A small incision was made in the concealed area of the armpit, and a endoscopic device was inserted. Under direct vision, the tumor was precisely removed and the lymph nodes in the armpit were cleared layer by layer. The incision was then sutured layer by layer, and a drainage tube was placed after the operation.
Conventional open breast-conserving surgery
Conventional open breast-conserving surgery is a surgical approach that aims to preserve the appearance and function of the breast as much as possible while ensuring the complete removal of the tumor. It is suitable for eligible patients with early-stage breast cancer and requires comprehensive postoperative treatment measures such as radiotherapy.
