Node Negative, Invasive Breast Cancer Single Fraction IOERT

Not Applicable
Active, not recruiting
Conditions
Breast Cancer
Interventions
Radiation: Single Fraction IOeRT
Registration Number
NCT02370797
Lead Sponsor
Avera McKennan Hospital & University Health Center
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine if lumpectomy followed by Intraoperative Electron Radiation Therapy (IOeRT) as a single, full dose partial breast irradiation will have as good or better results in preventing recurrence of local breast cancer, cosmetic appearance and early and late side effects.

Detailed Description

See points VIII inclusion/exclusion criteria

Operation:

* Lumpectomy, steninal node biopsy

* IOeRT

After Surgery:

* Meet with a medical oncologist and discuss if chemotherapy and/or hormone therapy is recommended as part of your treatment course. In some cases, pathology results may indicate the need for removal of additional lymph nodes. The doctor will review pathology and discuss if additional surgery is required.

* Chemotherapy (if indicated)

* Hormone therapy (if indicated)

Follow-Up

* Visits will be completed with the surgeon, radiation oncologist and research staff as the protocol indicates.

* Assessements of acute toxicity according to CTC-toxicity scoring system

* Assessments of late toxicity according to LENT-SOMA scoring systems

* Assessment of cosmetic outcome according to scoring system and photo documentation in standardized positions.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Proportion of patients who are free of breast cancer.10 years

Patients will be followed by standard of care breast imaging along with appointments with breast surgeon, radiation oncologist and medical oncologist if indicated.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Local recurrance rate with acute toxicity and cosmetic evaluations10 years

AEs and Lent Soma will be assessed for acute toxicity. We will use a 20% toxicity cutoff, the protocol would be stopped if 2/10 were determined to have developed significant toxicities, grade 3 or greater, at the first 6-month follow-up visit. 2/10 patients at 6-months follow-up, 4/20 patients at 1-year follow-up, 6/30 at 18-months follow-up, 8/40 at 24-months follow-up, 10/50 at 30-months follow-up, 12/60 at 36-months follow-up, 14/70 at 42-months follow-up, 16/80 at 48-months follow-up, 18/90 at 54-months and 20/100 at 60-months follow-up.

Cosmetic evaluations will be completed by the patient and radiation oncologist an via breast exams, questionnaires and breast photo documentation.
