Targeted radiation may extend life quality in breast cancer that has spread

NCT ID NCT04495309

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looked at whether adding focused radiation to the cancer spots (metastases) can help people with breast cancer that has spread to a few places (up to 5 spots). 87 participants received either standard drug therapy alone or standard therapy plus radiation. The goal was to see if the combination could delay cancer growth and improve quality of life. This approach aims to control the disease, not cure it.
