NCT ID NCT02400190

Summary

This study is testing whether certain breast cancer patients can safely skip radiation treatment after lumpectomy surgery. It focuses on postmenopausal women with specific low-risk tumor types who are taking hormone-blocking medication. The goal is to collect data showing these patients have such a low risk of cancer returning that radiation might not be necessary.
