Comparing two radiotherapy schedules for breast cancer
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This trial compares two ways of giving radiation therapy after breast cancer surgery: FAST-FORWARD versus HAI5. It aims to find which schedule works best for people who need radiation to prevent the cancer from coming back.

This trial tests if a 2-week course of radiation after breast cancer surgery works as well as a 3-week course. It may help reduce treatment time for people who have had surgery and some lymph nodes removed.
This study compares two radiation schedules for breast cancer patients at high risk of cancer returning in lymph nodes. Both use modern radiation therapy, but one delivers treatment faster (ultra-hypofractionated) while the other uses a more moderate schedule. The goal is to see which approach works better with fewer side effects.
This Phase 3 trial compares two radiation treatment schedules after mastectomy in people who had breast reconstruction. It aims to see which schedule works better and is easier to tolerate for preventing cancer from coming back.
This trial compares two ways of giving radiation therapy for head and neck cancers that haven't spread. It aims to see which approach gives patients a better quality of life. If you are planning curative treatment, this study may help you and your doctor choose the best radiation schedule.
This trial compares a shorter, more concentrated radiation schedule versus a standard shorter schedule after breast-conserving surgery. It looks at whether the treatment works well and is safe, especially for women whose lymph nodes also need radiation.
This trial tests a short, more intense radiation schedule for women with certain breast cancer types or who are under 40. It aims to reduce treatment time while still targeting the whole breast and any high-risk areas.
