One-Shot radiation before second breast surgery: a new hope for recurrence?

NCT ID NCT06640881

First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests whether a single, high dose of radiation given before repeat breast-conserving surgery is safe and effective for women whose breast cancer has returned after previous treatment. The trial will enroll 25 women aged 50 or older with small, low-risk tumors. The goal is to reduce side effects and improve cosmetic results compared to standard post-surgery radiation.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

single-dose partial breast irradiation (radiation therapy)

What this could lead to

If successful, this approach could offer a less toxic, more cosmetic-friendly option for women with recurrent breast cancer, potentially reducing the need for mastectomy.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-phase trial with only 25 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. The main risk is radiation-related side effects, and it is not yet known if this approach controls cancer as well as standard treatments.
