One-Time radiation during breast surgery could cut treatment time
NCT ID NCT06375798
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether giving a single dose of radiation during breast-conserving surgery works as well as standard weeks-long radiation for early-stage, HER2-negative breast cancer. About 620 women aged 55 and older will take part. The goal is to see if this approach lowers the chance of cancer coming back, reduces side effects, and gives better cosmetic results.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- intraoperative radiotherapy (radiation given during surgery)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this approach could offer a one-time radiation treatment during breast-conserving surgery, potentially reducing the need for weeks of daily radiation afterward.
- What could go wrong
- This is a single-center study, and results may not apply to all patients. The long-term safety and effectiveness compared to standard radiation are still being evaluated.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Age ≥55 years old; 2. Cytology or histology confirmed invasive breast cancer or intraductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) with a clinical stage of Tis-1N0M0; 3. Patients who are willing to preserve milk and intend to undergo breast-conserving surgery; 4. If invasive breast cancer is confirmed, the surgical margin negative ≥2mm should be met. If DCIS is confirmed, the surgical margin should be negative ≥3mm; 5. ER≥ 30% and PR≥ 1%, HER2 negative; 6. Voluntary participation in this study, signed informed consent, good compliance, cooperate with follow-up. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Simultaneous diagnosis of bilateral or multifocal breast cancer; 2.
