Breast cancer local recurrence study after surgery
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This study follows people who have had breast cancer come back in the same area after surgery. It looks at how well re-treatment works and helps doctors understand how to manage this type of recurrence.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had surgery for breast cancer (either a lumpectomy or mastectomy) and a pathologist confirmed you had invasive cancer or DCIS.
- Your breast cancer has come back only in the same area, not elsewhere in your body.
- You are 18 or older, and your general health is good enough to have surgery again and get further treatment.
- You agree to take part in the study and sign a consent form.
- You must be able to come for regular follow-up visits for a long time.

This Phase 2 study tests whether giving targeted radiation again to the same breast can control a small, local breast cancer that came back after prior whole-breast radiation. It may help some patients avoid or delay further treatment for the breast while carefully checking safety.
This trial looks at how well “salvage” treatments work for breast cancer that has come back only in the local area (like the chest wall or nearby lymph nodes), without spreading to distant organs. It also tracks side effects to better understand the risks and benefits for patients who need additional treatment.
This trial uses a special light and dye to help surgeons find and remove lymph nodes that might contain cancer cells, in women whose breast cancer has come back in the same area after previous surgery.
This study tests local and regional radiation treatment after nipple-sparing mastectomy done with an implant. It may help reduce cancer returning in the breast/nearby tissues for people whose cancer hasn’t spread to distant sites.
This trial studies a second breast-conserving surgery followed by daily radiation to just the tumor area for people whose breast cancer has returned in the same breast. It aims to see if this approach is safe and effective, potentially avoiding a mastectomy.
This trial compares three treatment options for breast cancer that has come back in the chest or lymph nodes after previous radiation. It looks at adding hyperthermia (heating the tumor area) to re-irradiation, versus just re-irradiation or surgery alone, to see which offers better quality of life and survival with fewer side effects.
