NCT ID NCT07299812
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether holding a deep breath during breast cancer radiation therapy can lower the amount of radiation reaching the heart. Researchers will compare heart radiation doses in 400 women who use a special breathing device versus those who breathe normally. The goal is to find a safer way to deliver treatment without harming the heart.
