Partial breast radiation versus no radiation after lumpectomy
Part of Cancer, Heart & circulation, Pain, Skin clinical trials.
This trial compares giving radiation only to part of the breast versus not giving radiation at all after breast-conserving surgery. It’s meant for women with early, hormone-driven breast cancer to see if skipping radiation can be safe and reduce treatment burden.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman age 60 or older
- Your cancer is in one breast area only (unifocal) and is grade 1 or 2
- Your lymph nodes are negative based on a sentinel node or lymph node removal
- Your tumor is estrogen-receptor positive (ER at least 10%) and HER2 is negative
- Your breast surgery was a lumpectomy (breast conservation), with clear margins (at least 2 mm)
- No signs of spread to distant organs, and you have enough health to do follow-up (ECOG 0–2)

This trial studies whether treating only part of the breast with radiation works as well as treating the whole breast in people with early breast cancer after lumpectomy. It may help reduce radiation exposure to healthy tissue, while still controlling the cancer.
This study compares two types of radiation therapy for early-stage breast cancer after lumpectomy: radiation to just the part of the breast where the cancer was removed (partial breast) versus radiation to the whole breast. The goal is to see if partial breast radiation works just as well, with fewer side effects and a shorter treatment time.
This trial compares a shorter course of radiation focused on part of the breast versus a standard approach after lumpectomy. It aims to see if treating a smaller area can control the cancer while reducing treatment burden.
This trial tests a shorter course of radiation to just part of the breast before surgery for women who have had breast cancer return in the same breast. It's for those who have already had radiation to that breast and have a specific type of cancer (ER+, HER2-).
This trial tests a one-time radiation treatment given directly to the area where your breast cancer was removed. It aims to reduce the need for multiple radiation sessions and may be an option for certain patients with early-stage breast cancer.
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.
