ClinConnect Summary
This clinical trial is looking at the long-term safety of a surgical option called nipple-sparing mastectomy (NSM) for women who have a genetic risk for breast cancer. Specifically, the study focuses on women who carry certain genetic changes (called germline pathogenic variants or GPVs) in genes like BRCA1, BRCA2, PALB2, TP53, CDH1, or PTEN. Many women want to keep their nipple area during surgery because it can help with body image and emotional well-being. While some previous studies suggest that NSM is safe and can lower the risk of breast cancer, more long-term data is needed, especially for those with these genetic variants.
To participate in this trial, women must be at least 18 years old and have a confirmed GPV in one of the specified genes. Unfortunately, those who have had breast or ovarian cancer, or certain other medical histories, cannot join. If eligible, participants can expect to undergo the NSM procedure and have their health monitored over time to gather data on its safety and effectiveness. This study aims to provide more information to help future patients and doctors make informed decisions about breast cancer surgery.
