First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tested whether a single, precise dose of radiation from a CyberKnife robot could replace multiple standard boost treatments after whole-breast radiation in 29 women with early-stage breast cancer. The goal was to reduce skin side effects like redness and swelling while keeping the cancer under control. Participants had surgery first, then received the CyberKnife boost in one session instead of several.
