This trial tests whether using a CPAP mask during daily radiation treatments for breast cancer can help protect your heart. It is for women who had a lumpectomy and need radiation to the left breast or to the right breast with lymph nodes.
This study compares how well radiation treatment plans can be made when you lie face-down (prone) for breast cancer. It’s a planning study, meaning the main goal is to improve treatment planning and potential safety/comfort.
This study compares lying flat (supine) versus sitting upright during radiation therapy. Researchers want to see if one position works better or has fewer side effects for patients like you.
This study compares two types of radiation therapy for left breast cancer: one using a breath-holding technique to protect the heart, and another without it. The goal is to see which is safer and more effective for women who have had surgery.
This study is comparing two types of radiation therapy—proton therapy and standard photon therapy—for people with left-sided breast cancer who need radiation after surgery. The goal is to find out which method best protects the heart while effectively treating the cancer.
This trial compares two ways of giving radiation to lymph node areas near the collarbone after surgery for invasive breast cancer. It aims to see which radiation approach works better and is safer for preventing cancer returning in these lymph nodes.
