Study tests quick radiation blast before surgery to shrink tumors
NCT ID NCT02186470
Summary
This small, completed study tested whether a short, highly targeted course of radiation given before surgery was a safe and practical option for older women with early-stage, hormone-sensitive breast cancer. The goal was to see if this approach could shrink the tumor and potentially allow for less tissue removal during surgery. Researchers also looked at side effects and cosmetic results.
