Trial Information

Pilot Study of Proton Radiation Therapy for Invasive Breast Carcinoma Following Mastectomy


Proton radiation will be delivered daily for approximately 5 1/2 weeks. Patients will be
assessed weekly for any side effects they may be experiencing.

Patients will have follow-up visits 4 weeks after proton therapy ends, at 6 months, 12
months, and then every year for up to five years after treatment. Follow-up visits will
include a physical examination, radiological imaging (if necessary), echocardiogram, and
laboratory tests.
