Radiation during breast surgery for low-grade DCIS
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This trial studies giving radiation during surgery for women with a certain early breast condition called ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS). It may help lower the chance that the DCIS comes back, especially when combined with breast-conserving surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your DCIS tumor is smaller than 5 cm
- Your DCIS is low grade (less aggressive)
- You are able to have breast-conserving surgery (lumpectomy)
- Your first surgery showed clear margins (or only minimal involvement)
- You are currently having further surgery on the biopsy area and/or lymph node checks (like sentinel/axillary node procedures)
- There is no sign of cancer spread to other parts of the body (no metastasis)

This trial tests a new, shorter radiation treatment given all at once after breast-conserving surgery for early-stage breast cancer. It is for people with small tumors that have not spread far, and aims to reduce side effects and visits to the clinic.
This study uses a special test (DCISionRT) on tissue from your breast surgery to help doctors decide if radiation therapy is right for you after lumpectomy for DCIS (a non-invasive form of breast cancer). The goal is to personalize treatment based on your individual cancer characteristics.
This study records details about radiation delivered while your surgery is happening for certain early breast cancers or pre-cancers. It may help doctors better understand who benefits most from this “intra-operative” radiation approach.
This trial tests a shorter, focused type of radiation (APBI using SBRT) after lumpectomy for certain early breast cancers. It may help by targeting only the part of the breast where the tumor was, rather than treating the whole breast, while keeping safety and cancer control in mind.
This trial tests giving radiation to the tumor area before surgery for women with early-stage, hormone-sensitive breast cancer. The idea is to see if giving radiation first can help protect healthy tissue while still being effective.
This trial tests a shorter, more intense radiation schedule for women with early stage breast cancer after lumpectomy. It aims to provide effective treatment with fewer visits, which may be more convenient for patients.
