One-Week radiation after breast cancer surgery could be just as good, with better looks

NCT ID NCT05417516

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 08, 2026 · Updated 2 times

Summary

This study compares two types of radiation therapy for women with early-stage breast cancer who have had a lumpectomy. One group receives radiation to the whole breast, the other only to the area where the cancer was removed. Both treatments are given once a day for about one week. The goal is to see if the shorter, partial treatment works as well at preventing cancer from coming back and causes fewer cosmetic changes to the breast. The study plans to enroll 910 women across multiple centers.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could offer a shorter, more convenient radiation option after breast cancer surgery that preserves breast appearance.
