Can AI deliver breast cancer radiation in a single session?
NCT ID NCT07776301
First seen Aug 20, 2026 · Last updated Aug 21, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial is testing a new, fully automated radiotherapy workflow for breast cancer, called 'all-in-one' or AIO. The approach uses artificial intelligence to plan and deliver radiation in a single, streamlined session, potentially reducing the time and steps involved in traditional treatment. The study will enroll 225 breast cancer patients who need radiotherapy, either before or after surgery, and will track side effects, treatment accuracy, and quality of life. The goal is to see if this one-stop method is safe and effective enough to become a standard option.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- An AI-guided, fully automated radiotherapy workflow that combines imaging, planning, and treatment in one session.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could make breast cancer radiotherapy faster, more precise, and less burdensome, potentially improving quality of life during treatment.
- What could go wrong
- The AI system may not always match human expert planning, and the trial is early, so results may not apply to all patients or settings.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Histologically or pathologically confirmed breast cancer with definitive indications for radiotherapy (preoperative, postoperative, or radical) * ECOG performance status of 0-2 * Able to remain still and supine on the treatment couch for up to 30 minutes * Provision of signed, written informed consent * Able to comply with daily follow-ups and blood sample collections Exclusion Criteria: * Palliative radiotherapy for concurrent distant metastasis * Incomplete or ongoing chemotherapy * Synchronous multiple primary tumors * Current pregnancy or lactation * Prior history of radiotherapy to the ipsilateral breast, chest wall, thorax, or regional lymph nodes * Severe non-malignant comorbidities (e.g., cardiovascular or pulmonary diseases, systemic lupus erythematosus, scleroderma) resulting in a short life expectancy or inability to tolerate radical radiotherapy * Inability or unlikelihood to comply with study follow-up * Inability or unwillingness to provide written informed consent
