Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are females aged 35 to 70 who have undergone breast-conserving surgery or modified radical mastectomy for pathologically confirmed primary breast cancer.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with confirmed metastasis, previous radiation therapy to the neck or chest, or severe organ dysfunction may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This clinical trial investigates the use of online adaptive radiotherapy in patients receiving moderate hypofractionated or ultrafractionated radiotherapy following breast cancer surgery. The study aims to determine if this innovative approach can enhance the precision of dose delivery and evaluate the associated treatment-related toxicities and tumor control outcomes. Participants will receive either 43.5Gy in 15 fractions or 26Gy in 5 fractions of radiotherapy, utilizing advanced imaging and artificial intelligence for real-time treatment adjustments. The goal is to improve patient outcomes while minimizing side effects.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could lead to more effective and safer radiotherapy options for breast cancer patients.
How similar studies have gone: Previous studies have shown promising results with moderate hypofractionated radiotherapy, suggesting that this adaptive approach may also yield positive outcomes.
