NCT ID NCT04175210

First seen May 23, 2026 · Last updated Jun 10, 2026 · Updated 3 times

Summary

This study compares two radiation schedules for women with early-stage breast cancer: the standard 15 sessions over 3 weeks versus an experimental 10 sessions over 2 weeks. The goal is to see if the shorter schedule is just as effective at controlling cancer and causes similar or fewer side effects. About 400 women who had breast-conserving surgery are participating.
