Single-Port Robotic-assisted Transaxillary Breast-conserving Surgery: A Prospective, Single-arm, Non-randomized Phase IIa Clinical Trial
Published on: August 19, 2025
Abstract:
When the Miami Breast Conference was founded in 1983, treatment for breast cancer was mostly limited to surgical interventions and radical mastectomies. With the development of immunotherapy and targeted agents, the treatment landscape has progressed immensely, sparing many patients from what was often a debilitating and disfiguring surgery. ONCOLOGY recently sat down with Patrick I. Borgen, MD, to discuss the latest trends in surgical and medical oncology, the transformation of breast cancer treatment over the course of his career, and the role he played within that evolution.
