Trial Information

Phase 2 Trial of Partial Breast Proton Therapy for Early Stage Breast Cancer With Low and Intermediate Risk Factors.


Radiation therapy delivered to the whole breast is standard treatment following tumor
removal for patients with early stage breast cancer. In selected patients, delivering the
radiation treatment to only the part of the breast involved by the tumor may be a viable
alternative. This can decrease the amount of normal tissues exposed to irradiation,
potentially decrease side-effects and shorten the treatment time. Proton beam can decrease
the volume of normal tissues treated compared to standard forms of radiotherapy. This study
will recruit patients with early stage breast cancer following surgical removal to undergo
partial breast radiotherapy with proton beam and determine the recurrence rates and
side-effects of treatment.
