Proton Radiation Safety Imaging for Breast Cancer
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This trial tests a special imaging scan (PET/CT) to check if proton radiation therapy—a precise type of cancer treatment—is working safely and accurately in breast cancer patients after surgery. The study helps doctors make sure the radiation reaches the right areas and understand any side effects.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with breast cancer and had surgery to remove it (either partial or full removal of the breast)
- Your doctor has recommended radiation therapy after your surgery as part of your treatment plan
- You are scheduled to receive proton therapy (a targeted form of radiation) given over a shorter timeframe than standard treatment
- You are in good enough health to receive radiation therapy (your doctor will assess this)
- You can lie still for imaging scans and follow study instructions
- If you can become pregnant, you agree to use birth control 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 study compares two types of radiation therapy—proton and photon—after breast cancer surgery to see which causes fewer side effects. Both are advanced treatments, and this trial helps doctors understand which might be safer for you.
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.
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 uses special PET/MRI scans to see how well breast cancer treatments are working. It aims to find better ways to monitor your cancer and guide your care.
