Summary
This study is testing a special radiation device called the GammaPod to give a single, high-dose boost to the tumor site after breast cancer surgery. The goal is to see if this approach can shorten the overall treatment time by 3-4 sessions and improve quality of life for women. About 160 women who have had a partial mastectomy will take part, and researchers will track side effects, tumor control, and patient well-being through questionnaires.
