Hypofractionated, Comprehensive Radiation Therapy for Node-Positive Breast Cancer
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating Adjuvant Hypofractionated Radiation for Breast Cancer. Completed, enrolled 108 participants across 3 sites.
Detailed Summary
The proposed study is being done to learn more about a particular dose of radiation treatment for breast cancer that is completed in a shorter amount of time than what has traditionally been used to treat breast cancer. Subjects are being asked to be in this research study because they have already had surgery for breast cancer and some cancer cells were found in their lymph nodes that drain the breast tissue.

Interventions
Hypofractionation is the delivery of radiotherapy in single daily doses greater than the 180-200 cGy. Hypofractionation, through use of larger doses per fraction and fewer total treatments, is a method of shortening overall treatment time in breast cancer therapy.
