Summary

This study looks at how well proton beam radiation works for women with early-stage breast cancer (stages 0 to II). The goal is to see if this type of radiation can kill cancer cells while causing fewer side effects and better cosmetic results compared to standard radiation. About 200 women will take part, and researchers will check breast appearance and skin reactions after treatment.
