- Long-term Safety of Nipple Sparing Mastectomy in Women With High Penetrance Breast Cancer Susceptibility Genes in Breast Cancer — Recruiting • Oncology • NCT06888388.
- What is being tested: Long-term safety outcomes of nipple-sparing mastectomy (NSM) as a risk-reducing procedure in women carrying high-penetrance breast cancer susceptibility gene mutations (such as BRCA1/BRCA2), compared to traditional risk-reducing mastectomy approaches.
- Patient eligibility overview: Women with germline pathogenic variants in high-penetrance breast cancer susceptibility genes who are eligible for risk-reducing mastectomy and wish to preserve their nipple-areola complex, addressing a significant patient preference gap in surgical decision-making.

Patients with a germline pathogenic variant (GPV) in high-penetrance breast cancer susceptibility genes who are considering risk reducing mastectomy (RRM) often strongly desire to keep their nipple areola complex but inquire as to whether it is safe to do so. Relative to traditional or skin sparing mastectomy (SSM) techniques, nipple sparing mastectomy (NSM) is associated with improved psychosocial and sexual well-being and is significantly better for body image and reducing feelings of disfigurement. Despite this, guidelines have yet to endorse the use of NSM over other RRM techniques, stating that…
