Conditions
Early-stage Breast Cancer
Breast Conserving Surgery
Interventions
Radiation: Whole Breast irradiation Plus simultaneous tumor bed Boost
Registration Number
NCT02958033
Lead Sponsor
Shandong Cancer Hospital and Institute
Brief Summary

In this study,the eligible breast cancer patients will be randomized divided into two groups. the study group receive the accelerated hypo-fractioned whole breast irradiation with a concurrent boost to the tumor bed (WBI 2.5Gy x18 and SIB 2.88Gy x18) and the control group receive conventional fractioned whole breast irradiation with a concurrent boost to the tumor bed(WBI 1.8Gy x28 and SIB 2.15Gy x28). All radiotherapy will be delivered by external beam-intensity modulated radiotherapy. the purpose of this study is to assess whether the accelerated hypo-fractioned is non-inferior to the conventional fractionated radiotherapy. The outcomes evaluation will include acute toxicity , late toxicity including breast fibrosis and cardiac disease, cosmetic outcome ,local control and survival outcome.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Degree of acute skin toxicity2 Weeks after the end of radiotherapy.

To determine the acute toxicity of accelerated hypo-fractionated whole breast irradiation with concurrent boost to the tumor bed in 18 fractions and whether it will be non-inferior to the conventional fractionated WBI with a concurrent boost

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
local controlFrom data of randomization until 60 months after the end of radiotherapy of last patients

To determine the local control in women with early stage breast cancer treated with accelerated hypo-fractionated whole breast irradiation with concurrent boost to the tumor bed in 18 fractions and whether it will be non-inferior to the conventional fractionated WBI with a concurrent boost

Degree of chronic skin toxicity and cosmesis after radiotherapy5 years after radiotherapy

To assess the chronic skin toxicity and measure cosmesis using the Harvard cosmoses scale in patients and to determine whether the accelerated hypo-fractionated WBI with a concurrent boost is non-inferior to standard WBI with concurrent boost.

overall survivalFrom date of randomization until 60 months after the end of radiotherapy of last patients

To determine whether the overall survival after hypo-fractionated breast radiation with concurrent boost is non-inferior to conventional fractionated radiation therapy with concurrent boost.
