NCT ID NCT02276885
First seen Jan 06, 2026 · Last updated Apr 29, 2026 · Updated 17 times
Summary
This study tests if a shorter course of radiation (3 doses over 5 days) is as safe and effective as the standard 5 doses over 5 days for women with early-stage breast cancer. The trial involves 284 post-menopausal women who have had their tumor removed. The main goal is to see if the shorter schedule causes similar side effects, like breast tissue hardening.
