Chinese herbal add-on after breast surgery
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This trial looks at whether a Chinese herbal complementary treatment used alongside standard radiation after breast cancer surgery can improve health outcomes. It is for women newly diagnosed with certain stages of breast cancer who are planning chest-wall radiation.

This trial tests whether a Chinese herbal medicine (Shenbailing granules) can help improve energy and blood health in women recovering from breast cancer surgery.
This Phase 4 study tests an additional (adjuvant) treatment for breast cancer after surgery and standard follow-up care. It may help lower the chance the cancer comes back, but you must match specific tumor and body-chemistry requirements to join.
This trial is testing a new treatment approach for patients with a certain type of breast cancer (HR+/HER2-). It combines radiation therapy with chemotherapy and an immunotherapy drug before the patient's main surgery, to see if it can shrink or eliminate the tumor more effectively.
This trial tests combining two treatments—an immunotherapy drug (Toripalimab) and radiation—before surgery for a certain type of breast cancer (HR+, HER2-negative) that has spread to lymph nodes. The goal is to see if this combination helps shrink the tumor more than standard therapy alone.
This trial compares two ways of giving radiation to lymph node areas near the collarbone after surgery for invasive breast cancer. It aims to see which radiation approach works better and is safer for preventing cancer returning in these lymph nodes.
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.
