Measure
High Purity Type I Collagen Scaffold
Patients undergoing breast conservative surgery will receive immediate placement of high purity Type I collagen scaffold to fill tissue defect. The scaffold is a sterile, cross-linked bovine Type I collagen matrix with degradation time of 2 months, sterilized by ethylene oxide. Participants, not individual breasts, were the unit of assignment. Each participant underwent breast cancer excision with a single corresponding defect and received one collagen scaffold implantation. Therefore, outcomes are reported per participant without double counting. High Purity Type I Collagen Scaffold (Regenerative Matrix): Standard breast-conserving surgery followed by immediate scaffold placement into the excision cavity. The scaffold is sutured using absorbable sutures and covered with standard wound closure. Postoperative care follows institutional protocols. Adjuvant radiotherapy and chemotherapy as indicated per oncological protocols; standard antibiotics and analgesics.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 4 weeks and 8 weeks post-operative

Patient satisfaction ≥7/10 on standardized satisfaction scale (BREAST-Q). The BREAST-Q is a validated patient-reported outcome measure (PROM) used to assess the quality of life and satisfaction of patients undergoing breast surgery. It consists of specific modules for different procedures, like reconstruction, and measures aspects such as psychological well-being, physical well-being (chest and sexual), and satisfaction with the breasts and care. The scale, which results in scores from 0 to 100, helps evaluate the impact of surgery from the patient's perspective. Scores range from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating a greater degree of health-related quality of life or satisfaction.

Physician-rated 4-point cosmetic score. This is a standardized visual assessment tool used to evaluate the aesthetic outcome of the operated breast compared to the contralateral breast. The assessment is based on parameters such as breast shape, volume, symmetry, contour, nipple-areolar complex position, and scar appearance. The 4-point grading system is typically defined as: Grade 4 - Excellent - Described as operated breast almost identical to contralateral side - Criteria is minimal asymmetry, natural contour Grade 3 - Good - Described as slight difference in shape or volume - Acceptable symmetry and cosmetic result Grade 2 - Fair - Described as noticeable asymmetry or distortion - Moderate contour irregularity or scar visibility Grade 1 - Poor - Described as significant deformity or volume loss - Unacceptable cosmetic result

MRI Scoring System - Scaffold Integration, Vascularization \& Resorption: Standardized MRI assessment of scaffold performance (integration, neovascularization, resorption) at baseline, Week 4, and Week 8. MRI protocol: T1 (axial/sagittal), T2/STIR (axial), DCE T1 (pre-contrast, early 30-60 s, intermediate 90-120 s, delayed 4-6 min), Scores (0-3 each): A. Integration: 0 = none; 1 = minimal; 2 = moderate; 3 = complete tissue continuity. B. Vascularization: 0 = none; 1 = mild/delayed; 2 = moderate (neovascular); 3 = marked (early enhancement). C. Resorption: 0 \> 75% residual; 1 = 50-75%; 2 = 25-50%; 3 \< 25% residual. D. Tissue Quality: 0 = fluid-filled; 1 = mostly fluid; 2 = mixed; 3 = tissue-like. Composite MRI Integration Score (MIS 0-12): Higher = better integration/remodeling. Interpretation: 0-3 Poor, 4-7 Moderate, 8-10 Good, 11-12 Excellent.

Number of participants experiencing postoperative complications within the 2-month follow-up period after breast cancer excision and collagen scaffold implantation. Complications assessed include seroma, hematoma, surgical site infection, abscess, wound dehiscence, scaffold exposure or extrusion, prolonged postoperative pain, and ecchymosis. Each participant is counted once per complication category. Higher values indicate greater frequency of complications.
