January 30, 2019 updated by: Yu Tang, Cancer Institute and Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences

Phase II Trial of Hypofractionated Whole-breast Radiation and Concomitant Boost to the Surgical Bed After Breast Conserving Surgery

This phase II study is to evaluate the safety of hypofractionated whole breast radiation (HFRT) with simultaneous tumor bed boost(SIB) in women with early breast cancer after breast-conserving surgery.

Detailed Description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary:

To determine the toxicity with adjuvant hypofractionated whole breast radiation with simultaneous tumor bed boost (SIB) in women with early breast cancer after breast conserving surgery.

Secondary:

To determine the short term cosmetic and quality of life of the participants treated with this regimen.

To determine the local control of the participants treated with this regimen.

OUTLINE: Patients undergo adjuvant hypofractionated whole breast radiation with simultaneous tumor bed boost once daily a week for 3 weeks. Toxicity, quality of life and cosmetic result is assessed before radiation, at the end of the radiation, within 2, 4, 6 weeks after completion of radiotherapy, and then every 3 months for 1 ear.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 90 participants will be accrued for this study.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
acute radiation induced dermatitis by CTCAE within 3 months
Time Frame: 3 months
radiation induced skin toxicity, including rash, dry skin, ulceration etc., occurring immediately after radiation.
3 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
late radiation toxicity by CTCAE every 3 months to 1 years after 3 months of completion of radiation
Time Frame: 3 months to 1 year
any radiation induced toxicity occurring after the radiation
3 months to 1 year
breast cosmetic result as measured by Harvard scale of breast cosmesis (excellent, good, fair, poor) every 3 months for 1year
Time Frame: every 3 months for 1year
breast cosmetic evaluation after breast conserving surgery and radiation, using Harvard scale.
every 3 months for 1year
