Summary
This study compares two types of radiation therapy for people with breast cancer that hasn't spread. The goal is to see if proton therapy is better than standard photon therapy at reducing heart problems while still controlling the cancer. Over 1,200 participants were randomly assigned to one of the two treatments and are being followed for years to track heart health, quality of life, and cancer outcomes.
