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 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 trial compares a shorter course of radiation (fewer, larger doses) with the standard longer course for women who have had breast cancer surgery with implant-based reconstruction. It aims to see if the shorter schedule is just as safe and effective for the chest area, while being more convenient.
This trial compares two different schedules of radiation therapy after mastectomy and breast reconstruction. One uses standard daily doses over a longer period, and the other uses higher doses over a shorter period. The goal is to see if the shorter schedule works just as well while possibly saving time and reducing side effects.
This study tests a shorter course of radiation therapy after breast reconstruction surgery for people with breast cancer. It aims to see if fewer, larger doses of radiation are safe and effective after mastectomy with reconstruction.
This trial tests a shorter course of radiation therapy (called extreme hypofractionation) after surgery for early-stage breast cancer. It aims to see if fewer, higher-dose radiation sessions are as effective and safe as standard radiation, potentially reducing treatment time.
