Brief summary

With the title of Long-Term Outcomes of endoscopic-assisted vs conventional breast-conserving surgery in breast cancer patients after neoadjuvant therapy: a randomized, multicenter, open label, non-inferiority trial, this study targets breast cancer patients after neoadjuvant therapy. A total of 1380 eligible patients, after screening with inclusion and exclusion criteria, will be randomly assigned to Endoscopic-assisted breast conserving surgery(E-BCS) or conventional breast conserving surgery (C-BCS) group at a 1:1 ratio using stratified block randomization method, stratified by centers and molecular subtype. The co-primary endpoints are 5-year disease-free survival (5y-DFS) and Breast-Q score at 6 months after surgery. The secondary endpoints are cosmetic outcomes including surgeons' satisfaction with breast and patients' satisfaction with scar, survival outcomes including 5-year overall survival (5y-OS) and 5-year local-recurrence rate (5y-LRR), surgical outcomes including operative time, intraoperative blood loss, incision length and postoperative complications rate. This study aims to confirm the long-term safety and aesthetic outcome of endoscopic-assisted surgery in breast cancer patients after neoadjuvant treatment by comparing it with conventional open breast conserving surgery, and provide clinical evidence for the popularized application of endoscopic breast surgery.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
5-year disease free survivalFrom surgery to the end of follow-up at 5 yearsThe proportion of patients remaining after excluding patients with disease recurrence, metastasis or death from the time of surgery to 5-year follow-up
Patients' satisfaction with breastFrom surgery to the follow-up at 6 monthsThe score of Breast-Q scale Satisfaction with breasts table 6 months after surgery

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Surgeons' satisfaction with breastFrom surgery to the follow-up at 6 monthsSurgeons evaluate the cosmetic outcome of breast based on the photos before surgery and after surgery. Four ranks: Excellent (9-10 points), Good (7-8 points), Fair (5-6 points) and Poor (0-4 points) are categorized on a basis of average total score from Ueda scale
Patients satisfaction with scarFrom surgery to the follow-up at 6 monthsScar-Q scale including 3 tables about the surgical scar: appearance, symptom, psychosocial impact with total score of 100 will be used for evaluating patients satisfaction with scar
5-year overall survivalFrom surgery to the end of follow-up at 5 yearsThe proportion of patients remaining after excluding patients who died from any cause at 5-year follow-up
5-year local-regional recurrence rateFrom surgery to the end of follow-up at 5 yearsThe proportion of patients with a lump found on breast, axilla, chest wall, skin or scars of surgery ipsilateral to the surgical side through physical examination or imaging, confirmed as the same pathological type as the primary tumor according to biopsy at 5-year follow up
Postoperative complication rateFrom surgery to the follow-up at 12 monthsThe proportion of patients with postoperative complications including hemorrhage, incision dehiscence, upper limb lymphedema, infection,seroma.
Surgical durationIntraoperativeThe time from the beginning of surgery to the end of surgery
Intraoperative blood lossIntraoperativeThe blood loss during the operation
Incision lengthIntraoperativeThe length of surgical incision
