Brief Summary

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

To investigate clinical outcomes, late side effects, and cosmetic results of a single-fraction very accelerated partial breast irradiation as postoperative local treatment for the treatment of early stage breast cancer.

Detailed Description

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

Accelerated Partial Breast Irradiation (APBI) has demonstrated the non-inferiority compared to external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) in the conserving-treatment of early breast carcinoma by using high-dose-rate (HDR) multicatheter interstitial brachytherapy (MIBT). The standard treatment regimen is 7-8 sessions with two treatments per day, for a total treatment time of 4-5 days. Based on 5-year results of the Groupe Européen de Curiethérapie European SocieTy for Radiotherapy \& Oncology (GEC-ESTRO) Very Accelerated Partial Breast Irradiation (VAPBI) phase I-II trial, in low-risk cases, 3-4 fractions delivered in 2 days reduced the overall treatment time with low rate of side effects and excellent oncological outcome.

Retrospective and prospective studies with a single fraction HDR MIBT-based VAPBI suggest that by further increasing the dose delivered in one fraction, the total treatment time can be reduced to a single session safely.

A phase II multicenter trial is proposed to confirm this hypothesis.

* Time interval from surgery preferably less than 12 weeks and no longer than 20 weeks, and from adjuvant chemotherapy less than 4 weeks
* Human Epidermal growth factor Receptor 2 positive (HER2+) patients receiving postoperative anti-HER2 systemic therapy
* Specific signed consent form prior to randomization

Exclusion Criteria

* Stage III-IV breast cancer
* Surgical margins that cannot be microscopically assessed
