Radiation therapy before surgery for early-stage breast cancer
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This study tests whether giving radiation therapy along with standard medical treatment before surgery can improve outcomes for early-stage breast cancer. It aims to see if this combination is safe and effective.

This trial is testing a new treatment approach for patients with a certain type of breast cancer (HR+/HER2-). It combines radiation therapy with chemotherapy and an immunotherapy drug before the patient's main surgery, to see if it can shrink or eliminate the tumor more effectively.
This study gives radiation to the breast before surgery to see if some people can safely delay or even skip surgery. It targets women with a small, node-negative, ER-positive breast cancer with low genetic risk.
This study tests combining chemotherapy before surgery with radiation therapy before surgery for locally advanced breast cancer. The goal is to see if this approach can improve outcomes, especially for patients whose tumors didn't shrink enough with initial chemo.
This study looks at how breast reconstruction works when radiation is planned around the time of surgery, including in some people before surgery depending on lymph node results. It may help improve safety and outcomes for people needing mastectomy and chest/radiation therapy.
This study looks at how well radiation therapy works for women with early-stage breast cancer who had breast-conserving surgery but did not have their underarm lymph nodes removed. It aims to understand long-term outcomes and help guide future treatment decisions.
This Phase 3 study tests a specific plan that combines chemotherapy (and sometimes targeted medicines) with radiation before surgery for one breast. It may help shrink breast cancer and improve treatment timing, based on how well tumors respond.
