Randomised Trial Testing Intensity Modulated and Partial Organ Radiotherapy After Breast Conservation Surgery for Early Breast Cancer
OBJECTIVES:
- To test partial breast radiotherapy using intensity-modulated techniques following
complete local tumor excision in women with low-risk, early stage breast cancer.
OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.
Patients are stratified according to center (not participating in sub-studies vs
participating in sub-studies). Patients are randomized to 1 of 3 treatment arms.
- Arm I (control): Patients undergo standard whole breast radiotherapy once daily on days
1-5 (15 fractions) for 3 weeks.
- Arm II: Patients undergo reduced whole breast radiotherapy (15 fractions) and standard
partial breast radiotherapy (15 fractions) once daily on days 1-5 for 3 weeks.
- Arm III: Patients undergo standard partial breast radiotherapy once daily on days 1-5
(15 fractions) for 3 weeks.
All patients complete a family history questionnaire at baseline. Patients also undergo
blood sample collection at baseline and paraffin-embedded tissue collection at follow-up for
molecular studies analyzing inter-patient variation by microarrays.
Patients in centers participating in sub-studies undergo quality of life and health economic
assessment at baseline, 6 months, and 1, 2, and 5 years. These patients also undergo
photographic assessment at baseline, 2 years, and 5 years.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed for 10 years.

Allocation: Randomized, Primary Purpose: Treatment
Local tumor control in the ipsilateral breast (i.e., true recurrence plus new primary tumor) as confirmed by cytological or histological assessment
