Summary

This trial will study whether it's safe to forgo radiation treatment after lumpectomy surgery for postmenopausal women with hormone-positive, Her2-negative tumors who have a low risk of cancer recurrence.

Who is the study for?
Postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive, Her2-negative stage 1 breast cancer who've had a lumpectomy can join this study. They must have an Oncotype-DX score ≤18 and agree to take endocrine therapy for at least 5 years. Women with prior breast cancer, known genetic predispositions like BRCA mutations, or evidence of more widespread disease are excluded.
What is being tested?
The IDEA Study is exploring if certain low-risk postmenopausal women with early-stage breast cancer can skip radiotherapy after surgery and only receive endocrine therapy. It aims to understand the recurrence rates without radiation in patients meeting specific criteria.
What are the potential side effects?
While not explicitly listed here, common side effects of endocrine therapies may include hot flashes, fatigue, joint pain, mood swings, decreased sex drive and osteoporosis among others.
