NCT ID NCT03583619
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compared two radiation methods for people with early-stage breast cancer: a shorter, more focused radiation (accelerated partial breast irradiation) versus standard whole breast radiation. The goal was to see which causes fewer side effects like skin problems, breast swelling, or heart issues. 140 participants were followed to check side effects, cancer return, and quality of life.
