简要总结
This randomized Phase III study aims to show major complication rate of hypofractionation radiation therapy is not inferior, compared to conventional fractionation radiation therapy in breast cancer patients undergoing mastectomy and reconstruction surgery.
详细描述
This study is a multicenter, randomized, phase 3 clinical trial. For breast cancer patients who underwent breast reconstruction after mastectomy, the hypofractionation radiotherapy group (experimental group) and the conventional fractionation radiotherapy group (control group) were divided 1:1 and compared to reveal the non-inferiority with hypofractionation in terms of major complication rate.
I. Primary Objective
- To show the non-inferiority of major complication rate in reconstructed-breast between the hypofractionation radiotherapy group (experimental group) and the conventional fractionation radiotherapy group (control group) at 2 years after radiation therapy.
- The main complications are defined at those requiring hospitalization or surgery among complications.
II. Secondary Objective:
- Comparison of other side effects between the two groups.
- Comparison of complication rate stratified by reconstruction timing and type of reconstruction

研究组 & 干预措施
Hypofractionation
For the cumulative total dose of 39-45.9 Gy to the chest wall, a daily dose of 2.5-3.0 Gy is administered 13-17 fractions.
- Should be started within 3 months of completion of mastectomy or chemotherapy.
- Clinical target volume (CTV) may include regional lymph nodes.
- If a tissue expander or implant is present at the time of radiotherapy planning, CTV contouring should be performed according to the ESTRO ACROP implant-based target delineation guidelines.
干预措施: Hypofractionation (Radiation)
Conventional Fractionation
For the cumulative total dose of 45-50.4 Gy to the chest wall, a daily dose of 1.8-2.0 Gy is administered 23-28 fractions.
- Should be started within 3 months of completion of mastectomy or chemotherapy.
- Clinical target volume (CTV) may include regional lymph nodes.
- If a tissue expander or implant is present at the time of radiotherapy planning, CTV contouring should be performed according to the ESTRO ACROP implant-based target delineation guidelines.
干预措施: Conventional Fractionation (Radiation)
