STAGE IA BREAST CANCER AJCC V7

This large study looked at over 10,000 women with early-stage, hormone-receptor-positive breast cancer that had not spread to lymph nodes. It used a genetic test called Oncotype DX to find out each woman's risk of the cancer coming back. The goal was to see if women with a mid-ra…

This study tests a new way to give radiation to women with early-stage breast cancer. Instead of treating the whole breast, it targets only the area where the cancer started and uses higher doses over fewer sessions. The goal is to see if this approach causes fewer side effects w…

This study compares a 3-week radiation schedule to the usual 5-week schedule for breast cancer patients who need radiation to the lymph nodes near the breast. The goal is to see if the shorter treatment is just as effective at preventing cancer from coming back, while also reduci…

This study looks at how well proton beam radiation works for early-stage breast cancer (stages 0 to II) and what side effects it causes. Researchers want to see if this precise type of radiation can kill cancer cells while causing less damage to healthy tissue and improving how t…

This study tested whether a shorter course of higher-dose radiation (hypofractionated) works as well as standard longer radiation for early-stage breast cancer. About 300 women with ductal carcinoma in situ or early invasive breast cancer took part. The goal was to see if the sho…

This study tests whether a type of acupuncture using mild electrical pulses can reduce chronic pain in women who have finished treatment for early-stage breast cancer. About 111 women with persistent pain for at least 3 months after surgery will receive either real acupuncture, a…
