Could some breast cancer patients skip radiation?
NCT ID NCT00165256
Summary
This study is testing whether surgery to remove a small, early-stage breast cancer (called DCIS) is enough treatment on its own, without needing follow-up radiation therapy. It involves 158 women with low- or intermediate-grade DCIS. The goal is to see if this simpler approach keeps the cancer from coming back at an acceptably low rate.
