Four weeks instead of six: trial tests faster radiation for tough breast cancers
NCT ID NCT02700386
Summary
This study is testing whether a shorter, 4-week course of radiation is as safe and effective as the standard 6-week treatment for breast cancer patients whose cancer has spread to their lymph nodes. The trial involves 108 women who have already had breast cancer surgery. Researchers are carefully monitoring side effects and cancer recurrence to see if the shorter treatment works just as well.
