Single-Port Robotic-assisted Transaxillary Breast-conserving Surgery: A Prospective, Single-arm, Non-randomized Phase IIa Clinical Trial
0 Views •
2025
This prospective study evaluated the implementation of a novel, single-port, robotic platform in oncoplastic breast-conserving surgery for malignant lesions. The primary endpoint focused on technical success, defined as the achievement of tumor-free resection margins confirmed by intraoperative frozen-section histopathology, with secondary assessment of aesthetic outcomes and life quality score of patients.

2026
This study describes a standardized surgical procedure for single-port endoscopic axillary lymph node dissection without liposuction in breast cancer. Indicated for patients with biopsy-confirmed nodal metastasis or positive sentinel lymph nodes, the technique emphasizes preservation of critical structures, particularly the intercostobrachial nerve, to reduce postoperative morbidity and optimize functional recovery.

Source: Nicholas Timmons, Asantha Cooray, PhD, Department of Physics & Astronomy, School of Physical Sciences, University of California, Irvine, CA The goal of this experiment is to test the concept of the conservation of momentum. By setting up a surface with very little friction, collisions between moving objects can be studied, including their initial and final momenta. The conservation of momentum is one of the most important laws in physics. When something is conserved in physics, the...

Conservation of Small Populations

2019
Small population sizes put a species at extreme risk of extinction due to a lack of variation, and a consequent decrease in adaptability. This weakens the chances of survival under pressures such as climate change, competition from other species, or new diseases. Large populations are more likely to survive pressures such as these, as such populations are more likely to harbor individuals that have genetic variants that are adaptive under new stresses. Small populations are much less likely to...
FAQs
The surrounding tissue margin helps determine whether the excised specimen contains tissue beyond the visible tumor. Pathology evaluates margin status together with tumor characteristics, providing evidence about the completeness of local removal. These findings support postoperative treatment planning and help researchers study how surgical precision relates to local cancer control and recurrence outcomes.
Radiation therapy targets residual microscopic disease that cannot be identified or removed visually during surgery. Its use after breast-conserving surgery is intended to reduce the risk of cancer returning in the treated breast. Research therefore evaluates surgery and radiation as connected components of local treatment rather than as independent interventions.
Imaging can support evaluation of the lesion and surgical planning, while molecular features provide additional information about the tumor. Together, these factors can help research teams investigate which patients are appropriate candidates and how treatment can be tailored. Their integration may improve selection, precision, and long-term outcome assessment.
A typical pathway includes evaluating the lesion with available imaging, planning the excision, removing the visible or localized tumor with surrounding tissue, and sending the specimen for pathological assessment. Clinicians then consider tumor characteristics and margin status when planning additional treatment, commonly including radiation to address residual microscopic disease.
Studies commonly assess local recurrence risk, long-term cancer control, surgical precision, and cosmetic results. Patient outcomes help determine whether treatment removes the intended disease while preserving breast appearance and function as effectively as possible. Comparing these measures across imaging approaches, surgical plans, and tumor features can guide improvements in care.
Breast-conserving surgery provides a setting for studying how tumor biology, imaging, operative planning, pathology, radiation, and patient outcomes interact. Cancer research uses this treatment pathway to refine candidate selection, improve the accuracy of lesion removal, and balance disease control with preservation of the breast. These goals connect technical progress with patient-centered outcomes.
