Radiation after surgery for certain node-positive breast cancer
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This study tests whether giving radiation after breast surgery can improve outcomes for people with breast cancer that has spread to nearby lymph nodes (N1). You may be a candidate if you’ve already had surgery and meet specific details about your lymph nodes and cancer type.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be 19 years or older
- Have had breast-conserving surgery or a mastectomy for invasive breast cancer
- Your pathology report after surgery shows stage pN1 (cancer in nearby lymph nodes)
- If your tumor is hormone-receptor positive, you will take hormone therapy; if HER2 positive, you will take targeted therapy
- Be able to have your daily activities with little to moderate help (ECOG 0 to 2) and agree to join the study

This study tests local and regional radiation treatment after nipple-sparing mastectomy done with an implant. It may help reduce cancer returning in the breast/nearby tissues for people whose cancer hasn’t spread to distant sites.
This study looks at how well radiation therapy works for women with early-stage breast cancer who had breast-conserving surgery but did not have their underarm lymph nodes removed. It aims to understand long-term outcomes and help guide future treatment decisions.
This trial looks at whether adding targeted radiation to lymph nodes after breast surgery can lower the chance of breast cancer coming back in people with higher-risk, node-negative disease. If you qualify, you may get a planned radiation approach designed for prevention, not treatment of spread.
This trial compares the benefits and risks of adding radiation therapy to the lymph nodes near the breast after surgery for people with breast cancer that has spread to a small number of lymph nodes. It may help prevent the cancer from coming back in those lymph nodes.
This trial tests whether women with breast cancer who had a complete or near-complete response to chemotherapy before mastectomy need radiation therapy after surgery. It aims to see if skipping radiation is safe and can reduce side effects.
This trial studies whether a specific radiation approach after lumpectomy can be helpful for certain people with early breast cancer that did not spread to lymph nodes at diagnosis. It focuses on people who finish neoadjuvant (before-surgery) treatment and reach a full response on final pathology.
