Summary

This study is testing a device called the GammaPod that delivers a single, precise radiation boost to the tumor site after breast cancer surgery. The goal is to shorten the overall radiation treatment by a few days and see if this improves patients' quality of life. About 160 women who have had a partial mastectomy will take part. Researchers will track side effects, tumor control, and develop a tool to better fit the device to each patient.
