Analyzing radiation therapy outcomes in HER2 positive breast cancer
Official title: Prospective Cohort for Tumor Bed Boost Radiotherapy in HER2 Positive Breast Cancer
Run by Samsung Medical Center · NCT05893966 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study looks at how well radiation therapy works for women with HER2 positive breast cancer after they have had surgery, to see if it helps prevent cancer from coming back and to track any side effects over seven years.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates for this study are female patients aged 19 and older with confirmed HER2 positive invasive breast cancer who have undergone breast conserving surgery.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with ductal carcinoma in situ or those who have previously received radiation therapy to the ipsilateral breast may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This observational study focuses on evaluating the treatment outcomes of postoperative radiation therapy, specifically the tumor bed boost, in female patients with HER2 positive breast cancer who have undergone breast conserving surgery. The study aims to assess various outcomes over a seven-year period, including ipsilateral breast tumor recurrence, disease-free survival, locoregional recurrence, overall survival, and adverse events related to radiation therapy. Participants will undergo multi-dimensional assessments to monitor their disease status and any side effects from the treatment.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide valuable insights into optimizing radiation therapy for HER2 positive breast cancer, potentially improving patient outcomes.
How similar studies have gone: While there have been studies on radiation therapy in breast cancer, this specific focus on tumor bed boost in HER2 positive patients is relatively novel and not extensively tested.
