Single-dose Preoperative Partial Breast Irradiation in Low-risk Breast Cancer Patients

About this study

In this ABLATIVE-2 trial, low-risk breast cancer patients will be treated with MRI-guided single dose preoperative partial breast radiotherapy to assess the rate of pathologic complete response after an interval of six to twelve months between radiotherapy and surgery. Response monitoring will be assessed using MRI and markers in blood and tumor tissue to enable prediction of pathologic response.
