Precision proton beams target breast cancer with fewer side effects
NCT ID NCT01245712
Summary
This study is testing a shorter, more targeted form of radiation therapy using proton beams for patients with early-stage breast cancer. The goal is to see if this approach effectively controls the cancer while causing fewer side effects and better cosmetic results compared to traditional whole-breast radiation. Researchers are following 200 patients for up to 10 years to measure skin reactions, quality of life, and whether the cancer returns.
