New radiation device aims to shrink breast cancer treatment time
NCT ID NCT03562273
Summary
This study is testing a specialized radiation machine called GammaPod that delivers a concentrated 'boost' dose to the area where a breast tumor was removed. Researchers want to see if this targeted approach can shorten treatment time by 3-4 sessions while maintaining effectiveness and quality of life. The study will enroll 160 women who have had breast-conserving surgery for early-stage breast cancer.
