Intraoperative Electron Beam Radiotherapy Boost in Treating Patients With Stage I-II Breast Cancer Undergoing Surgery With Reconstruction (NCT02927912)
Multi-institution Phase II Trial of Intraoperative Electron Beam Radiotherapy Boost at the Time of Breast Conserving Surgery With Oncoplastic Reconstruction in Women With Early-Stage Breast Cancer
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
This phase II trial studies the side effects of intraoperative electron beam radiotherapy boost and to see how well it works in treating patients with stage I-II breast cancer undergoing surgery with reconstruction. Giving a single dose of electron beam radiation to the tumor cavity during the breast surgery before reconstruction may be a better way to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors.
