Comparing two radiation doses for early-stage breast cancer
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This trial compares two different radiation doses (30 Gy versus 26 Gy) given in five sessions after a lumpectomy to treat early-stage breast cancer. The goal is to see whether the lower dose works just as well with fewer side effects and better quality of life.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are age 50 or older.
- You have early-stage breast cancer (the tumor is 2 cm or smaller) that is hormone-receptor positive and HER2-negative.
- You have had a lumpectomy with clear margins, and surgical clips are in place to guide radiation.
- Your lymph nodes are free of cancer.
- You have not had chemotherapy or targeted therapy before or after surgery, and you are not pregnant.

This trial tests a very short, high-dose radiation treatment given directly to the breast after lumpectomy. It aims to make radiation more convenient by finishing in just a few days instead of weeks, possibly with fewer side effects.
This trial tests a shorter, more intense radiation schedule for women with early stage breast cancer after lumpectomy. It aims to provide effective treatment with fewer visits, which may be more convenient for patients.
This trial tests giving a single, very targeted dose of radiation right after surgery for early-stage breast cancer. It is for women age 40+ with small, low-risk tumors (Luminal A or B) that have been fully removed and have not spread to lymph nodes.
This trial tests whether a shorter, 3-day course of partial breast radiation after surgery works as well as standard radiation for women with early-stage breast cancer. It may help reduce time in treatment while aiming to keep cancer from coming back in the treated breast area.
This trial tests a short, more intense radiation schedule for women with certain breast cancer types or who are under 40. It aims to reduce treatment time while still targeting the whole breast and any high-risk areas.
This study compares two different ways of giving radiation to the breast after lumpectomy for early-stage breast cancer. It may help determine which approach controls the cancer well while reducing radiation to surrounding healthy tissue.
