Overview
Brief Summary
This phase II trial studies how well hypofractionated radiation therapy works in treating participants with breast cancer before surgery. Hypofractionated radiation therapy delivers higher doses of radiation therapy over a shorter period of time and may kill more tumor cells and have fewer side effects.
Detailed Description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To determine the pathologic complete response (pCR) rate after hypofractionated radiotherapy to the whole breast alone, based on the postsurgical specimen. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. To evaluate acute and late toxicity with preoperative radiation including grade \>= 2 pneumonitis. II. To estimate the 5-year locoregional control, distant recurrence, invasive disease-free survival, cause-specific survival, and overall survival. CORRELATIVE AND EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES: I. To evaluate patient-reported outcomes. II. To evaluate clinical features, treatment technique, dose-volume parameters, histologic and genetic variants associated with adverse events, and fair and poor cosmetic outcomes or unplanned surgical intervention. III. Evaluate tumor mutation signatures before and after radiation; correlate tumor mutation signatures before and after radiation with pathologic information at the time of surgery. IV. To describe the pathologic changes seen in breast cancer patients with preoperative radiation. OUTLINE: Participants undergo hypofractionated radiation therapy daily for 5 days, then undergo standard of care surgery 4-16 weeks after radiation therapy. After completion of study treatment, participants are followed up at 12 weeks, 6, 12, 24, and 36 months, and 5 years after radiation therapy.
Investigators
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- •Histological confirmation of breast cancer
- •Clinical stage T0-T2 N0 M0
- •Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status (PS) 0 to 2
- •Able to and provides Institutional Review Board (IRB) approved study specific written informed consent

- •Planned breast surgery and indications for whole breast radiotherapy
Exclusion Criteria
- •Medical contraindication to receipt of radiotherapy
- •Severe active co-morbid systemic illnesses or other severe concurrent disease which, in the judgment of the investigator, would make the patient inappropriate for entry into this study or interfere significantly with the proper assessment of safety and toxicity of the prescribed regimens
- •Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements or providing informed consent
- •Active systemic lupus or scleroderma
- •Pregnancy
- •Women of childbearing potential who are unwilling to employ adequate contraception
- •Prior receipt of ipsilateral breast or chest wall radiation
- •Recurrent breast cancer
- •Indications for comprehensive regional nodal irradiation
- •No neo-adjuvant therapy
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Pathologic Complete Response (pCR) Rate Defined as a Residual Tumor Burden of 0-1 in the Surgical Specimen
Time Frame: up to 2 years
The proportion of successes (number of patients achieving pCR at time of definitive surgery) will be estimated by the number of successes divided by the total number of evaluable patients. Confidence intervals for the true success proportion will be calculated according to the approach of Duffy and Santner.
Secondary Outcomes
- Locoregional Control(Up to 5 years)
- Invasive Disease-free Survival(From registration until the time of disease recurrence or death due to any cause, assessed up to 5 years)
- Distant Recurrence(Up to 5 years)
- Overall Survival(From registration to death due to any cause assessed up to 5 years)
- Number of Participants With Acute Adverse Events (AE)(Up to 180 days post radiation therapy)
- Incidence of Late Adverse Events(Up to 5 years post radiation therapy)
- Cause-specific Survival(From registration to death due to breast cancer assessed up to 5 years)
- Disease- Free Survival(From registration until the time of disease recurrence or death due to any cause, assessed up to 5 years)
