Radiation Therapy Boost Before Surgery for the Treatment of Non-metastatic Breast Cancer

Sponsor: Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

This phase II trial investigates the safety of delivering a part (boost) of radiation treatment before breast surgery in treating patients with breast cancer that has not spread to other places in the body (non-metastatic). Radiation therapy uses high energy photons/electrons to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Delivering a boost radiation treatment before surgery when doctors can still visualize the tumor on imaging may help to better target the tumor and decrease the volume of normal irradiated tissue. By so doing, doctors may achieve better cosmetic outcomes and possibly better tumor control.

Official title: A Single Center Phase II Prospective Clinical Trial to Assess the Feasibility of Preoperative Radiation Boost in Breast Cancer Patients
