Lower radiation dose for breast cancer with no lymph node spread after chemo
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This trial tests whether giving less radiation to the lymph nodes is safe and effective for breast cancer patients whose lymph nodes were cancer-free after chemotherapy and surgery. It may mean fewer side effects for you.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman aged 18 or older.
- You have had invasive breast cancer that spread to a nearby lymph node at diagnosis (stage cN1).
- You completed standard chemotherapy before surgery.
- Your breast and underarm lymph nodes were surgically removed.
- After surgery, your lymph nodes showed no cancer (ypN0).
- Your general health is good enough for daily activities (ECOG score 0-2).

This trial tests a way to decide whether you can safely receive less radiation to lymph nodes after surgery for breast cancer that has spread to nearby nodes. If you qualify as “low risk,” the goal is to reduce radiation exposure while keeping cancer control safe.
This trial is testing whether giving radiation to nearby lymph nodes after surgery can help prevent breast cancer from coming back. It is for women with a specific type of breast cancer that has spread to a few lymph nodes but can be removed with surgery.
This trial looks at whether adding targeted radiation to lymph nodes after breast surgery can lower the chance of breast cancer coming back in people with higher-risk, node-negative disease. If you qualify, you may get a planned radiation approach designed for prevention, not treatment of spread.
This trial tests whether some women with low-risk breast cancer that has spread to a few lymph nodes can safely skip radiation therapy after surgery. It aims to reduce side effects while keeping the cancer from coming back.
This trial compares two ways to treat the underarm lymph nodes in people whose sentinel lymph node still shows limited cancer after chemotherapy and hormone treatment. It may help find which approach controls cancer better with fewer side effects.
This trial tests shorter radiation schedules for people with breast cancer that has spread to lymph nodes or is high-risk. It aims to find a shorter course of radiation that is just as effective after surgery.
