Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

PURPOSE: This phase II trial studied how well radiation therapy works after surgery in treating women with phyllodes tumor of the breast.

RATIONALE: Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells. Radiation therapy following surgery may be effective in treating patients with phyllodes tumor of the breast.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

OBJECTIVES:

* Determine the local recurrence rate in women with phyllodes tumors of the breast previously treated with local excision with negative margins and are now treated with adjuvant radiotherapy.
* Determine the survival rate in patients treated with this regimen.

METHODS: Within 12 weeks after prior local excision or breast reexcision, patients underwent adjuvant radiotherapy 5 days a week for a total of 28 treatments. Patients were then followed every 6 months for 10 years.
