The SECRAB trial looked at the timing of chemotherapy and radiotherapy after surgery for patients with newly diagnosed breast cancer. The 2297 women who took part in the trial were randomised to receive either: synchronous chemotherapy and radiotherapy, where the treatments are given at the same time; or sequential treatment, where chemotherapy is given first followed by radiotherapy. The aim of the trial was to determine which treatment was best at preventing recurrence of the breast cancer and whether it was safe to give the two treatments together. The trial also looked at patients’ quality of life and breast appearance.
