First seen Mar 21, 2026 · Last updated Apr 30, 2026 · Updated 4 times
Summary
This study tests whether a shorter course of radiation (4–5 days) focused only on the area where the tumor was removed is as safe and effective as the standard 6.5-week whole-breast radiation. About 121 women aged 40 and older with small breast cancers who chose lumpectomy are being followed for up to 15 years to check for cancer return, side effects, and survival.
