Brief Summary

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

This study is to compare radiation toxicity of accelerated partial breast irradiation (ABPI) with whole breast irradiation (WBI) in low-risk breast cancer.

Detailed Description

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

This study is a single-center phase II randomized clinical trial to enroll low-risk breast cancer treat with breast-conserving surgery. All eligible patients are randomized to receive either ABPI (40Gy/10fx/2wks) or WBI(43.5Gy/15fx/3wks). Intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) technique is used. Grade 2 or more acute and late toxicities are prospectively evaluated and compared.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

APBI

Patients receive accelerated partial breast irradiation to tumour bed to a total dose of 40Gy, 4.0Gy per fraction, 5 fractions a week, within 2 weeks.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

APBI

Intervention Type RADIATION

Patients receive radiation to the breast tumor bed to a total dose of 40Gy/10fx/2wks, using intensity-modulated radiation therapy technique.

WBI

Patients receive whole breast irradiation to a total dose of 43.5Gy, at 2.9Gy per fraction, 5 fractions a week, within 3 weeks.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

WBI

Intervention Type RADIATION

Patients receive radiation to the whole breast to a total dose of 43.5Gy/15fx/3wks, using intensity-modulated radiation therapy technique.
