Can less radiation be just as effective for early breast cancer?

NCT ID NCT07757958

What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting This study
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This trial is testing whether treating only part of the breast with radiation is as effective as treating the whole breast in women with early-stage, low-risk breast cancer. Participants are women aged 40 and older who had breast-conserving surgery and did not have a sentinel lymph node biopsy. The study compares recurrence rates, side effects, and quality of life between the two radiation approaches over five years.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Radiation therapy (partial breast irradiation compared to whole breast irradiation)
What this could lead to
If partial breast irradiation works as well as whole breast irradiation, it could offer a shorter, more targeted treatment with fewer side effects for many women with early breast cancer.
What could go wrong
This is a large trial, but results are not yet available. Partial breast irradiation might not control cancer as effectively as whole breast irradiation in the long term, and individual outcomes may vary.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Female ≥40 years with histologically confirmed unilateral invasive breast cancer. * No suspicious nodal metastasis on preoperative axillary ultrasound (cN0). * Single lesion in the affected breast on preoperative breast ultrasound and mammography. * Treated with breast-conserving surgery with pathologically negative margins for the invasive tumor. * Sentinel lymph node biopsy not performed at surgery (pNx). * Maximum diameter of invasive tumor ≤2 cm on final pathology (pT1). * Histologic grade 1 or 2. * Signed informed consent prior to enrollment. Exclusion Criteria: * History of malignancy other than breast cancer within 5 years (except adequately treated non-melanoma skin cancer, or carcinoma in situ excluding breast carcinoma in situ). * Preoperative diagnosis of carcinoma in situ without axillary nodal sampling, subsequently diagnosed as invasive breast cancer on final pathology with SLNB omitted. * Lymphovascular invasion present (LVI+). * Multifocal or multicentric tumor in the same breast confirmed radiologically or pathologically. * Bilateral or inflammatory breast cancer. * Prior radiotherapy to the breast or thorax. * Confirmed pathogenic or likely pathogenic variant in a hereditary breast cancer gene (including BRCA1/2). * Recurrent breast cancer.
