Summary
This study tests whether a shorter course of higher-dose radiation works as well as the standard longer course for people with early-stage breast cancer or a pre-cancerous condition called DCIS. About 300 participants received either the shorter or standard radiation schedule. The main goal was to see if the shorter treatment leads to better breast appearance and fewer side effects.
