Shorter radiation course tested for breast cancer recovery
NCT ID NCT01266642
Summary
This study is testing whether a shorter, more intense 3-week radiation schedule works as well as the standard 5-week schedule for women with early-stage breast cancer. It aims to see if the shorter treatment is just as effective at controlling cancer while possibly causing fewer side effects and better cosmetic results. The trial enrolled 301 women who had breast-conserving surgery and are now receiving follow-up care.
