New cavity marking technique for breast cancer surgery and radiation
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This trial tests a new way to mark the area where breast cancer is removed during lumpectomy with oncoplastic reconstruction. The goal is to make follow-up radiation more precise and reduce the need for additional surgeries.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have been diagnosed with non-invasive (DCIS) or invasive breast cancer that has not spread far.
- You are planning to have or have had breast conservation surgery (lumpectomy) with oncoplastic reconstruction and cavity marking.
- You are in fairly good health (ECOG score 0-1).
- If you can become pregnant, you must use effective birth control during the surgery and radiation phases.
- You have not had prior breast surgery on the same side that left surgical clips.

This study records details about radiation delivered while your surgery is happening for certain early breast cancers or pre-cancers. It may help doctors better understand who benefits most from this “intra-operative” radiation approach.
This trial tests a single, targeted radiation treatment given during or after lumpectomy for early-stage breast cancer. It aims to make treatment more convenient while keeping the same safety and effectiveness as longer radiation courses.
This study uses a special test (DCISionRT) on tissue from your breast surgery to help doctors decide if radiation therapy is right for you after lumpectomy for DCIS (a non-invasive form of breast cancer). The goal is to personalize treatment based on your individual cancer characteristics.
This trial tests a shorter, focused type of radiation (APBI using SBRT) after lumpectomy for certain early breast cancers. It may help by targeting only the part of the breast where the tumor was, rather than treating the whole breast, while keeping safety and cancer control in mind.
This study tests whether small disappearing ink marks can be used to guide daily radiation treatments for breast cancer. It may help make radiation more precise and comfortable.
This trial studies whether a specific radiation approach after lumpectomy can be helpful for certain people with early breast cancer that did not spread to lymph nodes at diagnosis. It focuses on people who finish neoadjuvant (before-surgery) treatment and reach a full response on final pathology.
