Summary

This study tests a new, ultra-short radiation schedule for early-stage breast cancer. Instead of the usual 3 weeks, patients receive 5 radiation sessions over one week, with an extra boost to the tumor site given at the same time. The goal is to see if this approach is safe, reduces side effects, and keeps the cancer from coming back. The study involves 90 women aged 50 and older who have had breast-conserving surgery.
