One-stop radiation therapy for breast cancer using a CT-Linac machine
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This study tests a faster, all-in-one radiation therapy approach for breast cancer using a CT-Linac machine. It aims to make treatment more convenient and may be an option if you need radiation before, after, or instead of surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have breast cancer confirmed by biopsy.
- Your doctor has recommended radiation therapy (before, after, or as main treatment).
- You are generally able to care for yourself (ECOG score 0-2).
- You can lie flat and still on the treatment table for up to 30 minutes.
- You are willing to attend daily check-ins and give blood samples.
- You have not had radiation to the same breast or chest area before.

This Phase 3 study tests a specific plan that combines chemotherapy (and sometimes targeted medicines) with radiation before surgery for one breast. It may help shrink breast cancer and improve treatment timing, based on how well tumors respond.
This study follows what happens when radiation treatment is guided using an MR-Linac (a special machine that combines MRI imaging with radiation). It may help improve how radiation therapy is planned and assessed, especially for people who can safely have MRI scans.
This trial tests a short, more intense radiation schedule for women with certain breast cancer types or who are under 40. It aims to reduce treatment time while still targeting the whole breast and any high-risk areas.
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 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 a single, targeted radiation treatment given during or after lumpectomy for early-stage breast cancer. It aims to make treatment more convenient while keeping the same safety and effectiveness as longer radiation courses.
