Brief Summary

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

The goal of the study is to investigate the feasibility of enabling a second chance for breast conservation in patients with in-breast recurrences after a previous lumpectomy and RT, investigators propose to test partial breast irradiation with the target volume encompassing the entire surgical bed with 1.0-1.5 cm margins.

An additional goal of the study is to investigate the feasibility of enabling a second chance for breast conservation in patients with inbreast recurrences after a previous lumpectomy and PBI, the investigators propose to test whole breast RT (WBRT) with the target as the whole breast volume.

Detailed Description

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

Patients will be treated with the fractionation of 30 Gy in 5 fractions over 1-2 weeks, which is the accelerated fractionation scheme of choice for Radiation Therapy (RT) naïve patients at New York Presbyterian using EBRT or with the fractionation of 4050 cGy in 15 fractions over 3 weeks, based on the previous treatment that they received.

The main aim of the study is to evaluate the rate of early grade 3 toxicities with this approach.

Study Groups

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

Radiation Therapy - PBI

Patients will be treated with the fractionation of 30 Gy in 5 fractions over 1-2 weeks, which is the accelerated partial breast irradiation (PBI) fractionation scheme of choice for RT naïve patients at New York Presbyterian using External Beam Radiation Therapy (EBRT)

Group Type OTHER

600cGY x 5 fractions APBI

Intervention Type RADIATION

Patients will be treated with the fractionation of 30 Gy in 5 fractions over 1-2 weeks, which is the accelerated fractionation scheme of choice for RT naïve patients at New York Presbyterian using EBRT

Radiation Therapy - WBRT

Patients will be treated with the fractionation of 4050 cGy in 15 fractions over 3 weeks, which is the standard whole breast RT (WBRT) fractionation scheme of choice for RT naïve patients at New York Presbyterian using External Beam Radiation Therapy (EBRT)

Group Type OTHER

270cGy x 15 fractions WBRT

Intervention Type RADIATION

Patients will be treated with the fractionation of 4050 cGy in 15 fractions over 3 weeks, which is the standard whole breast RT (WBRT) fractionation scheme of choice for RT naïve patients at New York Presbyterian using External Beam Radiation Therapy (EBRT)
