The aim of the ANTHEM study (ISRCTN18238549) was to explore clinical and patient-reported outcomes in a multicentre cohort of women offered oncoplastic breast-conserving surgery as an alternative to mastectomy with or without immediate breast reconstruction.
Methods: Women with invasive/pre-invasive breast cancer who were offered oncoplastic breast-conserving surgery with volume replacement or displacement techniques to avoid mastectomy were recruited prospectively.

Methods: This group randomized controlled trial included a sample of 104 groups comprised of 808 females aged 14-19 years. After completing the baseline survey, small groups of 4-16 participants were randomized, stratified by 6 regions, to receive Your Move (n = 58 groups, 412 participants) or an attention control program called Eat Smart (n = 46 groups, 396 participants).
