Summary

This study is testing a precise, high-dose radiation treatment called SABR as an alternative to surgery for women aged 65 and older with early-stage breast cancer. The goal is to control the cancer while avoiding surgery and maintaining quality of life. Participants will receive five radiation treatments and be monitored for side effects and well-being over one year.

What this could mean

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

Active substance: SABR (stereotactic ablative radiotherapy)
What this could lead to: If successful, this could offer older women with breast cancer a non-surgical treatment option that controls the disease while preserving quality of life.
What could go wrong: This is a small, early-phase study with only 18 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. Radiation side effects are possible, and the treatment may not control the cancer long-term.
