Phase III Study of 5tx vs 15tx of RT (X-rays or Protons) Including RNI in Breast Cancer Patients
Sponsor: Mayo Clinic
Summary
This phase III trial compares the rate of complications of x-ray therapy versus proton beam radiation therapy after breast conserving surgery or mastectomy in treating patients with breast cancer. X-ray therapy is a form of radiation therapy that uses high-energy radiation from x-rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Proton beam radiation therapy is a type of radiation therapy that uses high-energy beams to treat tumors. It is not yet known what level of complications x-ray therapy or proton beam radiation therapy have in treating patients with breast cancer.
