Testing breast cancer radiation plans in a prone position
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This study compares how well radiation treatment plans can be made when you lie face-down (prone) for breast cancer. It’s a planning study, meaning the main goal is to improve treatment planning and potential safety/comfort.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have breast cancer and your doctor recommends radiation therapy
- Radiation is planned for the breast and/or nearby lymph nodes
- You can be scheduled for a treatment planning session for the prone position

This Phase 3 study tests a specific plan that combines chemotherapy (and sometimes targeted medicines) with radiation before surgery for one breast. It may help shrink breast cancer and improve treatment timing, based on how well tumors respond.
This study looks at how breast reconstruction works when radiation is planned around the time of surgery, including in some people before surgery depending on lymph node results. It may help improve safety and outcomes for people needing mastectomy and chest/radiation therapy.
This study compares lying flat (supine) versus sitting upright during radiation therapy. Researchers want to see if one position works better or has fewer side effects for patients like you.
This trial tests whether lying on your right side during radiation therapy for left breast cancer can reduce side effects. It is for women who have had surgery for newly diagnosed left breast cancer and need radiation.
This trial tests a personalized prone-immobilization device for partial breast radiation after surgery. It aims to make treatment more comfortable and accurate for patients who have had breast-conserving surgery.
This trial tests two ways to plan radiation treatment for prostate cancer: one using a computer program (RapidPlan) and the other using human experts. The goal is to see if the computer-assisted method works as well or better.
