PERSEPHONE Trial

The PERSEPHONE trial was a medical study designed to evaluate the effectiveness of a shorter course of radiation therapy for breast cancer patients compared to the conventional longer treatment. Conducted in the UK, it focused on women with early-stage breast cancer who had already undergone surgery. The trial aimed to determine if a reduced radiation schedule could maintain the same level of cancer control while offering patients convenience and potentially fewer side effects. The results provided valuable insights into optimizing breast cancer treatment and improving patient quality of life.
