First seen May 10, 2026 · Last updated Jun 05, 2026 · Updated 3 times

Summary

This study tests whether a single, focused radiation treatment works as well as five treatments for people with low-risk stage 0 or I breast cancer after a lumpectomy. About 134 participants will be randomly assigned to receive either one or five doses of radiation to the tumor area. The goal is to see if the shorter option keeps cancer from coming back, has similar side effects, and improves quality of life.
