Could breast cancer radiation be cut from 5 weeks to 3?
NCT ID NCT05856773
Summary
This study is testing whether a shorter 3-week course of proton radiation therapy is as safe as the standard 5-week course for women with breast cancer who need radiation to the breast/chest wall and nearby lymph nodes. Researchers want to see if the shorter treatment causes similar levels of skin and tissue side effects. The goal is to provide effective treatment while potentially reducing the time commitment for patients.
