Summary
This study tests a precise, 5-session radiation treatment called stereotactic partial breast irradiation (S-PBI) using a special device called GammaPod for women with early-stage breast cancer. The goal is to control the cancer while improving cosmetic results and reducing side effects compared to standard longer radiation courses. About 74 women will participate, and researchers will track how the breast looks and feels over 3 years, as well as any cancer recurrence.
