Summary

This study tests a precise type of radiation (proton beam) for women with early-stage breast cancer (stage 0 to II). The goal is to see if it keeps the breast looking good and causes fewer side effects than standard radiation. About 200 women will receive the treatment and be followed for cosmetic results and skin reactions.
