What this Trial Is About
Robotic surgical systems offer advantages like enhanced dexterity, a magnified 3D high-definition view, and high-resolution imaging that improve precision and stability during surgery. These features make robotic systems well-suited for procedures within tight spaces. Since the breast is a solid organ without natural cavities, robotic systems show strong adaptability for breast surgery. This study compares clinical outcomes between robot-assisted breast-conserving surgery and endoscopic breast-conserving surgery in breast cancer patients to assess the clinical value of the robotic approach. The study involves two surgical procedures: robot-assisted breast-conserving surgery and endoscopic breast-conserving surgery. Both techniques aim to remove breast cancer while conserving breast tissue. The robotic method is being evaluated for its safety and feasibility compared to the established endoscopic approach. This is a non-randomized study where participants undergo one of the two surgical methods based on clinical decisions and patient preference. Participants are female breast cancer patients aged 18 to 80 years who meet specific clinical criteria, including tumor size and location suitable for breast conservation. Researchers will monitor outcomes such as postoperative complication rates one month after surgery, operation time during surgery, aesthetic results three months postoperatively, and perioperative blood loss. The study will help clarify the benefits and risks of robot-assisted surgery in breast cancer treatment.

Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if you...
- Female patients aged 18 to 80 years
- Pathologically confirmed breast cancer prior to surgery
- Sufficient glandular volume with a tumor-to-breast volume ratio 20%
- A unifocal lesion confined to the glandular tissue
- Clear desire for breast conservation and willingness to undergo robotic or endoscopic breast-conserving surgery
- No evidence of distant metastasis, no involvement of the skin or chest wall
- Eligibility for standard postoperative radiotherapy
You will not qualify if you...
- Presence of diffuse suspicious lesions or microcalcifications making adequate resection unlikely
- Bilateral breast cancer or inflammatory breast cancer
- Need for additional concurrent surgical procedures after neoadjuvant therapy
- Inability to tolerate general anesthesia or undergo surgery
- Contraindications to radiotherapy or history of prior chest wall irradiation
- Pregnancy- or lactation-associated breast cancer
- Refusal to undergo robotic or endoscopic breast-conserving surgery
