Breast conservation with radiation during surgery for early breast cancer
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This trial is for women aged 55 or older with very early-stage breast cancer (stage 0 or 1) who want to save their breast. It tests giving a single dose of radiation during the lumpectomy instead of weeks of daily radiation afterward.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 55 years old or older.
- You have been diagnosed with non-invasive (DCIS) or small invasive breast cancer that has not spread to lymph nodes.
- You are willing to have breast-conserving surgery (lumpectomy) and want to keep your breast.
- For invasive cancer: the tumor is removed with a clear margin of at least 2 mm. For DCIS: at least 3 mm.
- Your tumor is hormone-receptor-positive (ER at least 30% and PR at least 1%) and HER2-negative.
- You have not been diagnosed with breast cancer on the same side before, and you have never had radiation to your chest on that side.

This trial tests a shorter, more intense radiation schedule for women with early stage breast cancer after lumpectomy. It aims to provide effective treatment with fewer visits, which may be more convenient for patients.
This trial uses individual measures of how sensitive your body’s tissues are to radiation to guide after-surgery breast radiation treatment. It aims to keep treatment safe and effective while tailoring the plan to each person.
This trial tests giving a single, very targeted dose of radiation right after surgery for early-stage breast cancer. It is for women age 40+ with small, low-risk tumors (Luminal A or B) that have been fully removed and have not spread to lymph nodes.
This trial tests a shorter course of radiation to just part of the breast before surgery for women who have had breast cancer return in the same breast. It's for those who have already had radiation to that breast and have a specific type of cancer (ER+, HER2-).
This study records details about radiation delivered while your surgery is happening for certain early breast cancers or pre-cancers. It may help doctors better understand who benefits most from this “intra-operative” radiation approach.
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.
