Can patients with multiple breast cancers in the same breast avoid mastectomy by having multiple lumpectomies to achieve equivalent rates of local breast cancer recurrence? A randomized controlled feasibility trial called MIAMI UK (NCT03514654) (2020)
Presentation / Conference
Winters, Z. E., Jones, L., Schmidt, P., Brunt, M., Maxwell, A., Ingram, J., …Williams, N. (2020, February). Can patients with multiple breast cancers in the same breast avoid mastectomy by having multiple lumpectomies to achieve equivalent rates of local breast cancer recurrence? A randomized controlled feasibility trial called MIAMI UK (NCT03514654). Paper presented at UK Interdisciplinary Breast Cancer Symposium 2020

Background: Oncological safety of treating multiple ipsilateral breast cancers (MIBC) using therapeutic mammoplasty (TM) compared to mastectomy remains uncertain. A National Institute for Health Research (NIHR)—funded MIAMI feasibility phase randomiz...
