This study is looking at the safety of Partial Breast Irradiation (PBI) for women with early-stage breast cancer (Invasive Ductal Carcinoma of Female Breast) who have had breast-conserving surgery without having their lymph nodes checked. PBI is a type of radiation therapy. The study wants to see how many women develop a recurrence (cancer returning) in their armpit area up to five years after radiation. You may be able to join if you are a woman aged 40 or older, have had breast-conserving surgery without lymph node removal, and are able to give informed consent. This study plans to enroll 105 participants, but its current recruitment status is unclear.

Study design

This is a single-arm, pilot study, meaning all 105 participants will receive the same intervention. It is a prospective study, meaning researchers will follow participants forward in time.

What's involved

You would complete questionnaires about your treatment outcomes and financial impact at the start of the study and again after two years. An ultrasound of your armpit area is required before radiation begins if you haven't had one already.

Compensation

Not stated in the trial record.

Follow-up

Participants will be followed for up to five years after radiation to check for armpit recurrence.
