Personalized breast radiation for limited lymph-node spread
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This trial studies a tailored form of radiation treatment for some people with early breast cancer whose sentinel lymph-node biopsy shows cancer in 1–2 nodes. It may help improve local control while guiding the best radiation approach for your specific situation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have breast cancer that is T1–T2 and can be one area or multiple areas in the same breast
- Your breast cancer is ER-positive and HER2-negative
- Your imaging suggests no lymph-node involvement (clinically N0), but the sentinel node test found 1–2 lymph nodes with bigger metastases (>2 mm)
- You’re an adult (18 or older) and can sign a written consent form
- Surgery was done and all resection margins are tumor-free (no tumor at the edges of the removed tissue)
- You have not had certain past treatments: no prior radiation to the same planned area, no chemotherapy/radiation before surgery (neoadjuvant systemic therapy), and no prior axillary surgery/dissection on the affected side

This Phase 3 trial tests whether a shorter, more focused radiation treatment to the regional lymph nodes works as well as the current standard approach for certain breast cancers. It may help patients by potentially improving treatment efficiency while keeping cancer control effective.
This trial aims to see if a shorter course of radiation after breast-conserving surgery affects arm swelling (lymphedema) in people with early breast cancer that has spread to 1 or 2 nearby lymph nodes. The goal is to learn if this approach is safe and effective.
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 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 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 tests whether radiation to the lower armpit (level I-II axilla) works as well as more extensive surgery for women with early-stage breast cancer that has spread to one or two sentinel lymph nodes (with cancer size > 2 mm). It aims to find a gentler treatment that still keeps the cancer from coming back.
