Radiation after no lymph node sampling in breast cancer
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This trial tests whether radiation therapy alone is safe and effective for women 40 and older with early-stage breast cancer who have not had lymph node sampling. It aims to simplify treatment while maintaining good outcomes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman aged 40 or older.
- You had breast-conserving surgery (lumpectomy) without lymph node sampling.
- Your cancer is invasive ductal carcinoma, smaller than 3 cm.
- Your lymph nodes appear cancer-free on exam and imaging.
- You can receive radiation to part of your breast if your breast size allows.
- You are in good general health (able to do daily activities).

This trial tests a shorter, focused type of radiation (APBI using SBRT) after lumpectomy for certain early breast cancers. It may help by targeting only the part of the breast where the tumor was, rather than treating the whole breast, while keeping safety and cancer control in mind.
This trial tests a shorter course of radiation to only the part of the breast where cancer has come back. It's for women who had radiation years ago and now have a small new or recurrent tumor that can be removed by surgery.
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 whether radiation to only part of the breast is safe and effective for women with early-stage breast cancer, without removing lymph nodes. The goal is to reduce side effects while keeping the cancer from coming back.
This trial compares a shorter course of radiation focused on part of the breast versus a standard approach after lumpectomy. It aims to see if treating a smaller area can control the cancer while reducing treatment burden.
This trial compares two types of partial breast radiation: one session versus several shorter sessions. It aims to see if a single treatment is as effective and more convenient for women with early-stage breast cancer.
