Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study will assess how radiation affects the patterns of circulating tumor deoxyribonucleic acid (ctDNA) and immune cells (T cells) during radiation treatment in patients with breast cancer. By better understanding how radiation therapy affects these markers (characteristic that is measured to see how well the body responds to a treatment for a disease) in the blood, researchers may better customize treatments for patients with breast cancer in the future.
