Breast conserving surgery with intraoperative radiotherapy for early breast cancer
Official title: Clinical Study of Breast Conserving Surgery Combined With Intraoperative Radiotherapy for Early Breast Cancer
Run by Hebei Medical University Fourth Hospital · NCT06375798 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is testing whether a new type of radiation given during breast-conserving surgery can help early breast cancer patients have fewer complications and better results compared to the standard radiation treatment.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are women aged 55 and older with HER2-negative invasive breast cancer or DCIS who wish to undergo breast-conserving surgery.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with bilateral or multifocal breast cancer, previous breast cancer, or active connective tissue diseases may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This observational study analyzes the local recurrence rate, incidence of incision complications, and aesthetic outcomes of intraoperative radiotherapy (IORT) combined with breast-conserving surgery in early breast cancer patients. A total of 620 patients are included, with some receiving IORT and others undergoing whole breast irradiation (WBI) based on their preferences. The study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of IORT compared to traditional WBI in terms of patient outcomes and satisfaction. The treatment regimens are tailored based on postoperative pathology and immunohistochemical reports.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could lead to improved local control of breast cancer and better cosmetic outcomes for patients.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown promising results with intraoperative radiotherapy, suggesting potential benefits in similar patient populations.
