Normal Tissue Oxygenation Following Radiotherapy

Completed

Conditions studied: Radiation Toxicity

In brief

This study involves women who have had a diagnosis of breast cancer, and have had a lumpectomy with radiation treatments completed in the past year. The study will determine the level of oxygen in the skin of the breast that has been radiated, compared with the normal skin of the opposite breast. The purpose of this study is to determine if there is a decrease in oxygen levels in the skin which has been radiated, hopefully to find a treatment to limit skin damage caused by radiation treatments, for women with breast cancer in the future.
