Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The primary objective of the study is to create a reliable demonstrator (software) by integrating models of surgical techniques and treatment schemes, clinical patient data, multi-modal imaging and individualised models of patient anatomy. The demonstrator will be used as an aid to objective surgical planning, via simulation of the cosmetic effects of breast conserving surgery, as a decision support tool to communicate the available options to the patient and to enable standardised evaluation of the procedure | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The secondary objective is to assess the health-related quality of life at baseline (before surgery) and one year after surgery, in the women who are participating in this study. Together with characteristics of the patient and the breast tumour, these data will describe the patient group on whom the demonstrator is constructed, which will be used to inform the design and size of a subsequent evaluation study. | — |
