Definitive Radiation Therapy for Inoperable Breast Cancer
Multi-institutional Prospective Pilot Study of Definitive Breast Radiation Therapy for Invasive Breast Cancer Patients Not Undergoing Definitive Surgery
About This Trial
The purpose of this study is to find out if adding radiation therapy to routine medications for breast cancer helps in reducing and preventing the cancer from getting worse. Patients with a locally advanced breast cancer who cannot, or do not want to, undergo surgery are eligible to participate. Participation in this study does not prevent you from undergoing surgery in the future.
