Radiation blitz on early spread tumors could change breast cancer care

NCT ID NCT02089100

Summary

This study is testing if adding a highly focused, high-dose radiation treatment (called stereotactic body radiation therapy or SBRT) to standard first-line drugs can better control breast cancer that has recently spread to a few other body parts. It involves 154 patients whose cancer has spread to five or fewer locations. The goal is to see if this aggressive 'spot treatment' of the spread sites delays the cancer's progression and improves survival compared to drug treatment alone.
