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 compares two different schedules of radiation therapy after breast cancer surgery to see if a shorter course is as effective. It may help reduce the number of hospital visits for patients who have had breast-conserving surgery or a mastectomy.
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 trial compares two ways of giving proton therapy to the breast or chest wall and nearby lymph nodes after surgery. The goal is to see if a shorter course of treatment works just as well as the standard longer course, while possibly reducing side effects.
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.
This trial compares two shortened radiation therapy schedules for patients with advanced head and neck cancer that cannot be cured. The goal is to see which schedule provides better symptom relief and quality of life with fewer side effects.
