Intraoperative radiation therapy for breast cancer
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This trial tests a type of radiation given during breast cancer surgery. It may be used alone or with standard radiation after surgery, and is also open to people whose breast cancer has come back.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests giving targeted radiation while surgeons are operating to treat brain metastases. It may help control the cancer locally at the time of surgery, especially for certain single lesions.
This trial studies giving radiation during surgery for women with a certain early breast condition called ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS). It may help lower the chance that the DCIS comes back, especially when combined with breast-conserving surgery.
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 study tests a targeted radiation treatment given during surgery to remove a malignant brain tumor. It may be an option if you have a high-grade glioma or other serious brain tumor and need radiation right after surgery.
This registry study tracks people with early-stage, single-area breast cancer to understand outcomes when radiation is given during breast-conserving surgery. It may help doctors improve treatment planning for patients like you.
This trial compares two schedules of radiation given before mastectomy to see which works better for invasive breast cancer, followed by immediate breast reconstruction. It also studies tiny “biomarker” signals in tissue to learn why one radiation approach may help more.
