Breast Cancer Trial, Recruiting

Written by an AI model from ClinicalTrials.gov eligibility criteria and checked on a sample basis. Please confirm against the original criteria.

Who might be able to join this trial:

• You have been diagnosed with breast cancer confirmed by a tissue biopsy (lab test).
• Your cancer is at an early stage (from non-invasive to a tumor no larger than 2 cm), based on standard staging guidelines.
• Your tumor is classified as a lower grade (Grade 1 or 2), meaning it appears to be slower-growing.
• Your cancer is estrogen receptor-positive (ER+), meaning the cancer cells are fueled by the hormone estrogen.
• You are fully active and able to carry out daily activities without any restrictions (confirm with trial site).
• Your tumor measures up to 2 cm in size, as measured by mammogram, ultrasound, or MRI before surgery.
• You are a candidate for breast-conserving surgery (surgery that removes the tumor but keeps most of the breast), as decided by your medical team.
• You are willing and able to sign a consent form agreeing to take part in the study.
• You are able to understand and follow the requirements of the study.

Who may not be able to join:

• You are male.
• Your ability to carry out daily activities is limited in any way due to your illness (confirm with trial site).
• Your cancer appears in more than one spot within the breast.
• Your tumor is classified as a higher grade (Grade 3), meaning it appears to be faster-growing.
• Your cancer is triple-negative or HER2-positive and is not well controlled.
• Your cancer has reached an advanced local stage (larger tumor, T3 or above) or has spread to other parts of the body.
• You have inflammatory breast cancer (a type where the breast becomes red, swollen, and warm).
• You have already received chemotherapy or hormone therapy before surgery.
• You have previously had radiation therapy to the breast.
• You have a blood clotting disorder or a very low platelet count (a type of blood cell that helps with clotting).
• You are taking blood-thinning medications that cannot be safely stopped temporarily.
• You currently have an active infection.
• You have an autoimmune disease that is currently active (a condition where your immune system attacks your own body).
• You have a serious uncontrolled health condition such as diabetes or heart disease.
• Your Body Mass Index (BMI) is below 18.5, meaning you may not have enough body fat for part of the procedure.
• You are pregnant or currently breastfeeding.
• You have a mental health condition that would prevent you from giving informed consent.
• You have a known allergy to local anesthetics or sodium citrate.
