MIAMI Safe Surgery for Multiple Breast Cancers

The investigators will run a small study to evaluate whether a sufficient number of eligible patients can be identified and are willing to accept randomisation of the interventions in question. Recruitment and compliance rates of which will inform the feasibility and design of a larger trial. This will comprise a multi-centre randomised controlled trial in women with Multiple Ipsilateral Breast cancer (MIBC) requiring surgery. Participants will receive either Therapeutic Mammoplasty (TM) following excision of each cancer focus or mastectomy (+/- reconstruction). Patients will be randomised (1:1) into either intervention or control group.Therapeutic mammoplasty is an operation to remove breast cancer(s) whilst also significantly reducing the size of the breast. Therapeutic mammoplasty can be used to remove more than one cancer in the breast using separate lumpectomies. Both skin and breast tissue are removed, leaving scars similar to those seen after a standard breast reduction. Each patient is followed up for 12 months post treatment with a total of 50 patients recruited. Timings of the follow-up visits are aligned with standard of care practice for this patient population with quality of life questionnaires and clinical photographs completed before and after surgery. Twenty women will also be invited to an optional semi-structured interview at twelve months.
