Radiation and medicines after surgery for new metastatic breast cancer
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This trial looks at giving radiation and anti-cancer medicines after surgery to treat newly diagnosed (de novo) metastatic breast cancer. It may help patients by improving local control of the breast area while also treating cancer throughout the body.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have breast cancer that is newly diagnosed with metastasis (de novo metastatic)
- Your main breast tumor can be fully removed by surgery
- You are well enough to receive both the planned radiation and the planned whole-body (systemic) medicines
- You should not have a second, new primary cancer in the opposite breast
- You can make follow-up visits and you are able to give informed consent

This trial tests whether treating each spot of cancer that has spread (but only a few spots) with focused radiation can help control breast cancer. It aims to see if this approach can stop the cancer from growing further without needing strong whole-body treatments right away.
This trial studies whether giving radiotherapy after a mastectomy helps prevent breast cancer coming back in women whose lymph nodes are not involved (or only very tiny spread). It may help reduce recurrence risk, especially for patients with higher-risk features despite node-negative early cancer.
This trial is testing whether giving radiation to nearby lymph nodes after surgery can help prevent breast cancer from coming back. It is for women with a specific type of breast cancer that has spread to a few lymph nodes but can be removed with surgery.
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 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 trial is testing the safety and effectiveness of combining radiation therapy with newer cancer medications (like targeted therapy or immunotherapy) for people whose breast cancer has spread to other parts of the body (stage IV). The goal is to see if adding radiation can help control the cancer better.
