NCT ID NCT04495309

First seen Feb 28, 2026 · Last updated May 17, 2026 · Updated 5 times

Summary

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