Radiation for limited breast cancer spread
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman between 18 and 70 years old.
- You have breast cancer that has been confirmed by a biopsy.
- You have 5 or fewer spots of cancer that have spread to other parts of the body (but not in the brain).
- You are generally healthy enough to carry out your daily activities (performance status 0–2).
- You have not had radiation to the same cancer spots within the past year.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and you do not have active connective tissue diseases like rheumatoid arthritis.

This trial looks at whether giving radiation treatment to tumors in people with a limited number of metastases can help control the cancer. It is for adults with certain cancer types that have spread to specific organs, and who can manage daily activities with little or no help.
This trial tests whether treating just the few spots where breast cancer has spread (called oligometastases) with radiation or surgery can help control the disease. It is for people whose cancer has spread to 3 or fewer places, each small in size, and who are healthy enough for local treatments.
This trial studies a type of focused radiation given in smaller parts to treat bone metastases from breast cancer. It may help shrink tumors and improve control of pain or growth when standard treatments haven’t worked or surgery isn’t possible.
This trial looks at adding a focused radiation treatment called SBRT to standard care for cancers that have spread to a limited number of spots. It aims to control those spread-out tumors while still using the usual cancer treatment plan.
This Phase 2 study tests whether adding a very focused type of radiation to standard drug treatment can better control metastatic breast cancer. It is for people whose cancer is only progressing in one spot, seen on a PET scan.
This trial tests whether giving radiation to a few growing spots (1-3) can let you stay on your current drug longer, instead of switching to a new one right away. It's for people with metastatic breast cancer whose disease has been stable for months but now shows limited progression.
