Prospective Study of Particle Radiotherapy for Breast Cancer With Different Arm Position

Phase 2
Recruiting
Conditions
Breast Cancer
Interventions
Device: Fixed positions of arm down and arm up
Registration Number
NCT05878678
Lead Sponsor
Shanghai Proton and Heavy Ion Center
Brief Summary

The optical body surface image (C-RAD) was used to guide and track the change of positions, and multimodal images (including 2D X-ray images, CT images and PET-CT images) were used to verify the treatment positions. In order to explore the accuracy of breast cancer patients' treatment positions and its impact on dose of the new fixation device in two different fixed positions of arm up and arm down, optimize the position fixed equipment and methods of particle radiotherapy for breast cancer, and then establish the precision process of particle radiotherapy for breast cancer under the guidance of multimodal images. In a word, this is a dosimetry and prospective Phase II randomized clinical study of the accuracy of multi-modal guided particle radiotherapy for postoperative breast cancer with different arm position.

Fixed positions of arm downFixed positions of arm down and arm upPatients will receive particle radiotherapy in arm down position. Radiation: adjuvant hypofractionated intensity-modulated proton radiotherapy; For patients received modified radical mastectomy, CTV1: chest wall ± regional lymph drainage area, 40.05Gy (RBE) in 15 fractions with proton radiotherapy; For patients received lumpectomy, CTV1: whole breast ± regional lymph drainage area, 40.05 Gy (RBE) in 15 fractions with proton radiotherapy; CTVtb: tumor bed SIB to 48 Gy (RBE) in 15 fractions with proton radiotherapy.
Fixed positions of arm upFixed positions of arm down and arm upPatients will receive particle radiotherapy in arm up position. Radiation: adjuvant hypofractionated intensity-modulated proton radiotherapy; For patients received modified radical mastectomy, Clinical Target Volume (CTV) 1: chest wall ± regional lymph drainage area, 40.05Gy (RBE) in 15 fractions with proton radiotherapy; For patients received lumpectomy, CTV1: whole breast ± regional lymph drainage area, 40.05 Gy (RBE) in 15 fractions with proton radiotherapy; CTVtb: tumor bed SIB(simultaneous integrated boost) to 48 Gy (RBE) in 15 fractions with proton radiotherapy.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
The accuracy of multi-modal guided particle radiotherapy for postoperative breast cancer with different immobilization positionwithin 3 months after radiotherapy

The optical body surface image (C-RAD) was used to guide and track the change of positions, and multimodal images (including 2D X-ray images, CT images and PET-CT images) were used to verify the treatment positions. In order to explore the accuracy of breast cancer patients' treatment positions and its impact on dose of the new fixation device in two different fixed positions of arm up and arm down, optimize the position fixed equipment and methods of particle radiotherapy for breast cancer, and then establish the precision process of particle radiotherapy for breast cancer under the guidance of multimodal images.

Secondary Outcome Measures
