Radiation plus drug therapy before breast cancer surgery
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This trial tests whether giving radiation therapy along with other cancer treatments before surgery can help early-stage breast cancer that has spread to the lymph nodes. The goal is to see if this approach is safe and works better than standard treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman between 18 and 65 years old.
- You were recently diagnosed with breast cancer that has not spread to other parts of the body.
- A biopsy confirmed that cancer cells are in the lymph nodes under your arm.
- You are able to do your daily activities on your own (ECOG score 0 or 1).
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.

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 trial tests adding radiation therapy to chemotherapy before surgery for people with locally advanced breast cancer that did not shrink enough with chemo alone. It may help improve outcomes for those with luminal (HER2-negative) or triple-negative types.
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 trial tests giving radiation therapy before surgery and immediate breast reconstruction using implants. It may help patients who need a mastectomy and know they will need radiation after.
This trial is testing whether giving radiation to nearby lymph nodes after surgery can help prevent breast cancer from coming back. It is for women with a specific type of breast cancer that has spread to a few lymph nodes but can be removed with surgery.
This trial looks at whether adding targeted radiation to lymph nodes after breast surgery can lower the chance of breast cancer coming back in people with higher-risk, node-negative disease. If you qualify, you may get a planned radiation approach designed for prevention, not treatment of spread.
