A new clinical trial at Fox Chase Cancer Center could pave the way for a major change in how early-stage breast cancer is treated.

Dr. Rebecca Shulman, a radiation oncologist at Fox Chase, recently joined 6abc Action News Moves in Medicine to discuss the DEBRA (De-Escalating Breast Radiation After lumpectomy) trial, which is studying whether women with low-risk, hormone-sensitive, early-stage breast cancer can safely skip radiation therapy after surgery.
