NCT ID NCT02917421

First seen Apr 24, 2026 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 3 times

Summary

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