NCT ID NCT02482376
First seen Mar 22, 2026 · Last updated Apr 30, 2026 · Updated 4 times
Summary
This study tests whether a single, strong dose of radiation given before surgery can safely treat early-stage breast cancer while keeping the breast looking and feeling good. About 110 women with small, localized breast tumors will receive 21 Gray of radiation in one session, then have standard surgery. The main goal is to see how many women have excellent or good cosmetic results up to 3 years later.
