Single radiation treatment after breast surgery
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This trial tests a one-time radiation treatment given directly to the area where your breast cancer was removed. It aims to reduce the need for multiple radiation sessions and may be an option for certain patients with early-stage breast cancer.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman aged 40-85.
- You have been newly diagnosed with DCIS or early-stage invasive breast cancer.
- You have had a lumpectomy (tumor removal) with clear margins (no cancer cells at the edge).
- Your tumor is small (up to 3 cm).
- If you have invasive cancer, you have had a sentinel node biopsy or axillary dissection to check lymph nodes (unless you meet certain low-risk criteria).
- You can start this treatment within 12 weeks after your lumpectomy or chemotherapy (if needed).

This trial tests a very short, high-dose radiation treatment given directly to the breast after lumpectomy. It aims to make radiation more convenient by finishing in just a few days instead of weeks, possibly with fewer side effects.
This trial tests a shorter, more intense course of daily radiation therapy (called ultra hypo-fractionation) given after lumpectomy for early-stage breast cancer. The goal is to reduce the number of treatment visits while keeping the same high level of effectiveness and safety.
This trial tests giving a single, very targeted dose of radiation right after surgery for early-stage breast cancer. It is for women age 40+ with small, low-risk tumors (Luminal A or B) that have been fully removed and have not spread to lymph nodes.
This trial tests a shorter, more intense radiation schedule for women with early stage breast cancer after lumpectomy. It aims to provide effective treatment with fewer visits, which may be more convenient for patients.
This trial tests whether a shorter, 3-day course of partial breast radiation after surgery works as well as standard radiation for women with early-stage breast cancer. It may help reduce time in treatment while aiming to keep cancer from coming back in the treated breast area.
This trial tests a shorter course of radiation to just part of the breast before surgery for women who have had breast cancer return in the same breast. It's for those who have already had radiation to that breast and have a specific type of cancer (ER+, HER2-).
