Proton therapy accuracy in breast cancer after surgery
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This study uses PET/CT scans to check how accurately proton therapy targets breast cancer after surgery, and how it relates to side effects. It aims to improve treatment precision and reduce harm.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman aged 18 or older.
- You have been diagnosed with breast cancer and had surgery (lumpectomy or mastectomy).
- You are scheduled to receive a short course of proton therapy.
- You must be generally healthy, able to care for yourself, with an expected survival of more than 5 years.
- Your surgical wound must be fully healed without infection.
- If you can become pregnant, you must use birth control for at least 1 month before and during the study.

This trial studies a type of radiation made with proton beams given after mastectomy and implant reconstruction to lower breast cancer coming back. It’s for people who need additional (adjuvant) radiation and have not had prior radiation to the chest or breast.
This trial is testing how well two different radiation techniques, IMPT and IMRT, work for treating breast cancer. It aims to see which one is safer and more effective, so you might benefit from a potentially better treatment approach.
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 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.
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 looks at how proton therapy affects the skin in people being treated for early-stage breast cancer. It aims to understand skin reactions better so doctors can reduce side effects.
