Hong Kong pioneers world-first clinical trial for breast cancer procedure

AI Summary

short article 1 min

The University of Hong Kong's Li Ka Shing Faculty of Medicine has launched a world-first clinical trial integrating lipofilling surgical practices with breast conservation for cancer patients. Preliminary findings indicate no immediate surgical complications or disease recurrence among participants. The study aims to enhance post-operative breast symmetry and natural appearance, improving patient confidence and quality of life. Breast cancer is the most common form of cancer among women in Hong Kong, making this innovative approach significant. Traditionally, mastectomy has been prevalent; however, conserving surgery with tissue reshaping after tumor removal is becoming more common.
