Week-Long radiation could replace 6-Week treatment for breast cancer

NCT ID NCT00185744

Summary

This study is testing whether a much shorter course of radiation, focused only on the area where the tumor was removed, is as safe and effective as the standard 6.5 weeks of whole-breast radiation. It is for women over 40 with early-stage breast cancer who had a lumpectomy. The goal is to control the cancer while reducing treatment time and side effects.
