Shorter radiation schedule after mastectomy with implant reconstruction
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This trial is testing a shorter, higher-dose radiation schedule (hypofractionation) for women who have had a mastectomy and immediate breast reconstruction with implants. The goal is to see if this approach works as well as standard radiation while possibly being more convenient and causing fewer side effects.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are over 18 years old.
- You have stage I, II, or III breast cancer (not stage IV or T4).
- You have already had a complete mastectomy (skin- or nipple-sparing).
- Your doctor recommends you get radiation after surgery.
- You had immediate reconstruction with a tissue expander or permanent implant (not using your own tissue).

This trial compares a shorter radiation plan to a standard longer plan after mastectomy for people considered high risk. It may help reduce treatment time while still trying to prevent breast-cancer recurrence.
This trial compares standard radiation therapy to a shorter course (hypofractionated) for women who have had a mastectomy with implant reconstruction. The goal is to see if the shorter schedule works as well while possibly reducing side effects for the reconstructed breast.
This trial studies a radiation schedule given after breast cancer surgery when your breast was rebuilt right away with a prosthesis (implant or similar). It aims to see whether this “hypofractionated” (fewer, larger treatment sessions) radiation approach is appropriate for patients who need additional (adjuvant) radiation to reduce recurrence risk.
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 tests a shorter, more targeted course of daily radiation for early-stage breast cancer. The radiation plan is adjusted each day to better fit your body, which may reduce side effects.
This trial studies a type of radiation made with proton beams given after mastectomy and implant reconstruction to lower breast cancer coming back. It’s for people who need additional (adjuvant) radiation and have not had prior radiation to the chest or breast.
