Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the feasibility of partial breast irradiation in participants with early invasive or non-invasive breast cancer.


Description:

- In this study, radiotherapy is given only to a portion of the breast around the tumor bed using external radiation treatments. This approach is called "partial breast irradiation". - Participants will undergo a planning session for the radiation treatments. This planning will be done by CT scan days or weeks before the start of treatment. This planning process is the same as that used to plan conventional radiation therapy treatments. - Radiation therapy will begin 4-12 weeks after the last surgery of the breast in individuals not receiving chemotherapy first. For individuals receiving chemotherapy before radiation therapy, radiation therapy will start 2-6 weeks after ending chemotherapy. - We will be studying three levels of radiation doses to see which is best. The dose the participant receives will depend upon when they are enrolled on the trial. - Participants will receive radiation treatment twice each day for 4 or 5 treatment days, with an overall treatment time of one week.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Feasibility and Local Control of Early Breast Cancer Treated by Partial Breast Irradiation Using Different Radiation Doses Determined by Completion. Feasibility and local control of early breast cancer treated by partial breast irradiation using different radiation doses. Number of patients who completed partial breast irradiation was used to determine feasibility. 10 years
Primary Number of Patients Who Presented With Local Recurrence in the Same Breast Which Received Treatment and Confirmed by Positive Biopsy Risk of local failure after PBI determined by number of patients who presented with local recurrence in the same breast confirmed by positive biopsy 10 years
Secondary Number of Patients Who Presented With Moderate to Severe Composite Toxicity as an Endpoint Number of patients who presented with moderate to severe composite toxicity as an endpoint 8 years
Secondary Number of Patients Who Developed Moderate to Severe Breast Fibrosis After Partial Breast Irradiation Rate of moderate to severe breast fibrosis determined by number of patients who developed moderate to severe breast fibrosis after partial breast irradiation according to radiation dose level 8 years
Secondary Number of Patients Who Had Poor/Fair Cosmetic Outcome After Partial Breast Irradiation Number of patients who had poor/fair cosmetic outcome after partial breast irradiation. Other participants had excellent/good cosmetic outcomes. 8 years
Secondary To Evaluate Patient Satisfaction A survey asking the patient about her level of satisfaction with her PBI treatment. Patients who are totally satisfied with their appearance. 8 years
