Comparing shorter radiotherapy schedules after breast cancer surgery
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This trial tests if a 2-week course of radiation after breast cancer surgery works as well as a 3-week course. It may help reduce treatment time for people who have had surgery and some lymph nodes removed.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are a woman aged 18 or older with invasive breast cancer
- You have had all visible tumor removed during surgery (breast-conserving or mastectomy)
- You have had at least some lymph nodes removed from your armpit
- Your cancer has not spread to distant organs (no metastases)
- You have not had radiation to the chest area before
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding

This trial compares two schedules of radiation after breast surgery in people with high-risk, node-positive breast cancer. The goal is to see whether giving radiation in 1 week or 2 weeks works well and is safe after standard treatments.
This trial compares a shorter, one-week course of radiation to the standard two-week course after a lumpectomy for early-stage breast cancer. The goal is to see if one week is just as effective and safe, making treatment more convenient.
This Phase 3 trial compares two radiation treatment schedules after mastectomy in people who had breast reconstruction. It aims to see which schedule works better and is easier to tolerate for preventing cancer from coming back.
This Phase 2 trial tests a shorter, focused radiation treatment after breast surgery, either alone or with an extra targeted boost. It’s for people with low-risk breast cancer and no spread to distant organs, aiming to keep results while reducing treatment time and side effects.
This trial compares a shorter radiation plan to a standard longer plan after mastectomy for people considered high risk. It may help reduce treatment time while still trying to prevent breast-cancer recurrence.
This trial compares two ways of giving radiation to the breast/chest wall and nearby lymph nodes after breast surgery: a standard schedule versus a shorter “hypofractionated” schedule. It uses proton therapy and may help reduce treatment time while still controlling the cancer.
