Summary
This study tested whether a shorter course of higher-dose radiation (hypofractionated) works as well as standard longer radiation for early-stage breast cancer. About 300 women with ductal carcinoma in situ or early invasive breast cancer took part. The goal was to see if the shorter treatment leads to fewer side effects and better cosmetic results.
