Radiation boost before surgery: a new hope for Hard-to-Treat breast cancers?
NCT ID NCT02806258
Summary
This study tested whether adding a short, focused course of radiation to standard chemotherapy before surgery could improve outcomes for patients with certain aggressive breast cancers. It involved 362 women whose tumors were too large for breast-conserving surgery at diagnosis. The goal was to see if the combined approach led to more patients having no detectable cancer at surgery and allowed for breast-conserving surgery, without adding significant side effects.
