Single Dose Ablative Radiation Treatment for Early-Stage Breast Cancer
- Conditions
- Breast Neoplasm
- Interventions
- Radiation: Single dose ablative radiotherapy
- Registration Number
- NCT02316561
- Lead Sponsor
- UMC Utrecht
- Brief Summary
The purpose of the study is to investigate the feasibility of a preoperative, single dose, ablative partial breast radiation treatment in patients with early-stage breast cancer.
- Detailed Description
A total of twenty-five patients will be treated with a single dose preoperative ablative radiation treatment. After a vigilant follow-up with MRI, breast conserving surgery will be performed 6 months after the ablative radiation treatment. The total follow-up time is 10 years.
This study aims to present an ablative radiotherapy treatment approach that could resolve to some extent the disadvantages of current breast conserving treatment in elderly low-risk breast cancer patients who are currently not treated according to guidelines due to co-morbidity.
