Hypofractionated Radiation Therapy After Mastectomy in Preventing Recurrence in Patients With Stage IIa-IIIa Breast Cancer (NCT03414970)
RT CHARM: Phase III Randomized Trial of Hypofractionated Post Mastectomy Radiation With Breast Reconstruction
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
This randomized phase III trial studies how well hypofractionated radiation therapy works in preventing recurrence in patients with stage IIa-IIIa cancer who have undergone mastectomy. Hypofractionated radiation therapy delivers higher doses of radiation therapy over a shorter period of time and may kill more tumor cells that remain after surgery and have fewer side effects.
