Overview

Partial breast irradiation is currently a hot topic in clinical research, but the appropriate population and appropriate irradiation The technology and dose fractionation mode are still inconclusive. Foreign studies have mostly selected patients with low risk of recurrence. Breast-conserving surgeries for early-stage breast cancer are increasing year by year in China. It is necessary to conduct prospective clinical studies to explore the Chinese population suitable for partial breast irradiation and the appropriate radiotherapy dose fractionation model. A preliminary study in our center has compared the safety and efficacy of a 2-week schedule of partial breast irradiation (40Gy/10f) and a 3-week schedule of whole-breast radiotherapy (43.5Gy/15f) in patients with early-stage low-risk breast cancer after breast-conserving surgery. , preliminary results show that the 2-week partial breast irradiation regimen is safe and effective. This study plans to continue to select low-risk breast-conserving patients, use extracorporeal intensity-modulated radiotherapy technology, refer to the radiotherapy dose fractionation model of the FAST-Forward study, and give partial breast irradiation 5.2 Gy/f/d, a total of 5 times, with a total dose of 26Gy, to further shorten the time The radiotherapy time is 1 week, and the acute and late adverse reactions of radiotherapy and the local control of the tumor are prospectively observed. Provide evidence for conducting a national multi-center phase III clinical randomized study.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
