One-Week radiation for breast cancer: is less more?
NCT ID NCT02755896
Summary
This study is testing whether a very short, 3-session radiation schedule works as well as a slightly longer 5-session schedule for women with early-stage breast cancer who have had a lumpectomy. The main goal is to see if both schedules cause similar levels of scarring (fibrosis) in the breast tissue. Researchers will follow 350 post-menopausal women for up to 10 years to compare side effects and check if the cancer returns.
