Pre-surgery radiation study with or without calorie restriction
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This trial looks at whether a planned calorie-reduction diet before surgery can change how early breast cancer responds to a short course of radiation. It may help people understand if diet could improve outcomes alongside standard pre-surgery treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be age 40 or older (and age 50 or older if you have triple-negative breast cancer)
- Have early breast cancer or DCIS confirmed by biopsy (DCIS is non-invasive cancer)
- Have a small tumor: 3 cm or less, and it should be limited to the breast area
- Not have spread to distant organs (no stage IV metastatic breast cancer)
- Your underarm lymph nodes must be “not suspicious” on exam or ultrasound (or be checked with biopsy if needed)
- Be able to follow a diet plan and use English or Spanish to complete study steps

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial compares two ways of giving radiation for breast cancer that has not spread: before or after surgery. It aims to see if giving radiation first might work as well or better.
This trial studies whether some people with early-stage breast cancer who respond extremely well to hormone/chemo/targeted treatment can safely skip breast surgery and/or radiation. It aims to reduce side effects without increasing cancer risk in carefully selected patients.
This study gives radiation to the breast before surgery to see if some people can safely delay or even skip surgery. It targets women with a small, node-negative, ER-positive breast cancer with low genetic risk.
This trial tests whether giving radiation therapy before surgery helps people with locally advanced breast cancer that hasn't been removed with chemotherapy. It may offer a new option for those who cannot have surgery right away.
This trial is for women aged 55 or older with very early-stage breast cancer (stage 0 or 1) who want to save their breast. It tests giving a single dose of radiation during the lumpectomy instead of weeks of daily radiation afterward.
This trial tests a focused radiation treatment before surgery for early-stage breast cancer that is hormone receptor positive and HER2 negative. The goal is to give precise radiation only to the tumor, with the hope of reducing side effects and improving outcomes.
