Trial Information

Twin Cities Brachytherapy Study for Ductal Carcinoma in Situ A Phase II Trial


OBJECTIVES:

Primary

- Determine the ipsilateral breast tumor recurrence rate in women with ductal carcinoma
in situ undergoing lumpectomy followed by brachytherapy using the MammoSite^® Radiation
Therapy System.

Secondary

- Determine the early and late complication rates and cosmetic outcome in these patients
after treatment.

OUTLINE: Patients undergo lumpectomy. Patients with negative tumor margins* (no ink on
tumor) undergo placement of the MammoSite^® Radiation Therapy System at the time of
lumpectomy or within 4 weeks after surgery.

NOTE: *If positive margins are present, the surgeon may elect to resect the positive margins
and then insert a new MammoSite® device if all other eligibility criteria are met.

Beginning 2-5 days after placement of the MammoSite^®, patients undergo brachytherapy
through the MammoSite^® twice daily for 5 days (a total of 10 fractions).

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed periodically for ≥ 5 years.
