Comparing two proton radiation schedules for early breast cancer after lumpectomy
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This study compares two types of proton radiation after lumpectomy for early breast cancer. It tests whether a shorter, stronger course (ultra-hypofractionated) works as well as a slightly longer moderate course.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 40 years or older.
- You have early-stage breast cancer (stage T1 or T2, no lymph node or distant spread) and have had a lumpectomy with clean margins.
- You have not had radiation therapy to the same breast or chest before.
- You are generally healthy (able to care for yourself and do everyday activities).
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.

This study compares two radiation schedules for breast cancer patients at high risk of cancer returning in lymph nodes. Both use modern radiation therapy, but one delivers treatment faster (ultra-hypofractionated) while the other uses a more moderate schedule. The goal is to see which approach works better with fewer side effects.
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 types of radiation therapy for breast cancer after surgery: standard photon radiation and a newer type called proton radiation. The goal is to see which one causes fewer side effects, and the study may help you choose a treatment that is gentler on your body.
This trial compares two ways of giving proton therapy to the breast or chest wall and nearby lymph nodes after surgery. The goal is to see if a shorter course of treatment works just as well as the standard longer course, while possibly reducing side effects.
This trial studies a type of radiation made with protons to treat only part of the breast after surgery (lumpectomy) for early-stage breast cancer. It may help control the cancer while aiming to reduce radiation to surrounding tissues.
This study compares a shorter course of radiation to a standard longer course after breast-conserving surgery (lumpectomy). It’s meant to see which schedule works just as well while focusing on safety and cancer control.
