Radiation treatment for left breast cancer
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This study looks at how radiation treatment for left-sided breast cancer affects the surrounding tissues. It aims to better understand the impact so doctors can plan treatment more safely.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are female and 18 years or older.
- Your cancer is in the left breast.
- Your treatment plan is radiation therapy with a specific dose (40.05 Gray in 15 sessions).
- You do not have other tumors elsewhere in your body.
- The cancer has not spread to lymph nodes above your collarbone.

This trial compares two ways of giving radiation to lymph node areas near the collarbone after surgery for invasive breast cancer. It aims to see which radiation approach works better and is safer for preventing cancer returning in these lymph nodes.
This study is comparing two types of radiation therapy—proton therapy and standard photon therapy—for people with left-sided breast cancer who need radiation after surgery. The goal is to find out which method best protects the heart while effectively treating the cancer.
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 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 uses individual measures of how sensitive your body’s tissues are to radiation to guide after-surgery breast radiation treatment. It aims to keep treatment safe and effective while tailoring the plan to each person.
This trial tests giving a focused, higher dose of radiation to the lymph nodes above the collarbone after breast cancer treatment. It is for patients whose cancer did not fully disappear from those nodes after pre-surgery chemotherapy, to see if extra radiation can help prevent recurrence.
