Radiation Therapy for Hard-to-Treat Breast Cancer
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This study tests whether radiation therapy can help people with advanced breast cancer that is not responding to other treatments. The goal is to shrink tumors and improve control of the disease.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have advanced or metastatic breast cancer that has not responded to treatment.
- You are able to get around and take care of yourself (score 0-2 on a simple activity scale).
- You have at least one tumor outside the brain that can be treated with radiation.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You do not have serious health problems like uncontrolled infections or heart disease.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This Phase 2 study tests whether adding a very focused type of radiation to standard drug treatment can better control metastatic breast cancer. It is for people whose cancer is only progressing in one spot, seen on a PET scan.
This trial tests whether treating each spot of cancer that has spread (but only a few spots) with focused radiation can help control breast cancer. It aims to see if this approach can stop the cancer from growing further without needing strong whole-body treatments right away.
This Phase 3 trial tests whether a shorter, more focused radiation treatment to the regional lymph nodes works as well as the current standard approach for certain breast cancers. It may help patients by potentially improving treatment efficiency while keeping cancer control effective.
This trial tests a precise type of radiation called SBRT for breast cancer in patients aged 70 or older who cannot have surgery or choose not to. The goal is to see if this treatment can effectively control the tumor without surgery.
This trial tests a new type of radiation therapy (DaRT) that uses tiny, implantable seeds to deliver targeted alpha radiation to breast tumors. It is designed for older patients (65+) or those who are too frail for surgery, offering a less invasive option for controlling the cancer.
This trial tests a new way to deliver radiation therapy that adapts to each patient's body changes during treatment. It is for women who had breast cancer surgery and need radiation to the whole breast and nearby lymph nodes, and who have been identified as being at risk for breast fibrosis.
