Summary

This study looks at whether a shorter, more intense course of radiation (accelerated radiation therapy) is safe and tolerable for women with breast cancer who have already had chemotherapy and surgery. About 88 participants will receive the accelerated radiation to the breast and nearby lymph nodes. The main goal is to see how many experience moderate skin irritation within 60 days, and researchers will also track quality of life and cosmetic results.
