Higher Per Daily Treatment-Dose Radiation Therapy or Standard Per Daily Treatment Radiation Therapy in Treating Patients With Early-Stage Breast Cancer That Was Removed by Surgery
|
A Phase III Trial of Accelerated Whole Breast Irradiation With Hypofractionation Plus Concurrent Boost Versus Standard Whole Breast Irradiation Plus Sequential Boost for Early-Stage Breast Cancer
|
RATIONALE: It is not yet know whether higher per daily radiation therapy is equally as effective as standard per daily radiation therapy in treating breast cancer.
PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial studies how well an accelerated course of higher per daily radiation therapy with concomitant boost works compared to standard per daily radiation therapy with a sequential boost in treating patients with early-stage breast cancer that was removed by surgery.
|
OBJECTIVES:
Primary
- To determine whether an accelerated course of hypofractionated whole-breast irradiation (WBI) including a concomitant boost to the tumor bed in 15 fractions following lumpectomy will prove to be non-inferior in local control to a regimen of standard WBI with a sequential boost following lumpectomy for early-stage breast cancer patients.
Secondary
- To determine whether breast-related symptoms and cosmesis from accelerated WBI that is hypofractionated (in only 3 weeks) with a concomitant boost is non-inferior to standard WBI with sequential boost.
- To determine whether the risk of late cardiac toxicity in patients with left-sided breast cancer treated with hypofractionation will be non-inferior to conventional fractionated radiation therapy (RT) based upon analysis of radiation dosimetry from CT-based treatment planning and NTCP calculations.
- To determine whether CT-based conformal methods intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3D-CRT) for WBI are feasible in a multi-institutional setting following lumpectomy in early-stage breast cancer patients and whether dose-volume analyses can be established to assess treatment adequacy and likelihood of toxicity.
- To determine that cosmetic results and breast-related symptoms 3 years after hypofractionated breast radiation with concomitant boost will not be inferior to that obtained 3 years after WBI with sequential boost.
- To determine whether future correlative studies can identify individual gene expressions and biological host factors associated with toxicity and/or local recurrence from standard and hypofractionated WBI.
- If shown to be non-inferior, to then determine if accelerated course of hypofractionated WBI including a concomitant boost to the tumor bed in 15 fractions following lumpectomy will prove to be superior in local control to a regimen of standard WBI with a sequential boost following lumpectomy for early-stage breast cancer patients.
- To determine whether treatment costs for hypofractionated WBI with concomitant boost are not higher than WBI with sequential boost.
OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to age (< 50 vs. ≥ 50 years), prior chemotherapy (yes vs. no), estrogen-receptor status (+ vs. -), and histology grade (1-2 vs. 3). Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms. Treatment begins within 9 weeks of last surgery or chemotherapy delivery.
- Arm I: Patients undergo standard whole-breast radiotherapy (WBI) comprising intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) or three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3D-CRT) 5 days a week for 3-5 weeks followed by a sequential radiotherapy boost to the lumpectomy area 5 days a week for 1-1½ weeks. Treatment continues in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
- Arm II: Patients undergo accelerated hypofractionated WBI comprising IMRT or 3D-CRT with a concurrent boost to the lumpectomy area 5 days a week for 3 weeks. Treatment continues in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Patients' tissue samples may be collected for future research studies.
After completion of study therapy, patients are followed at 1 month, at 6 months, and then yearly.

DISEASE CHARACTERISTICS:
- Pathologically proven diagnosis of breast cancer resected by lumpectomy and whole-breast irradiation (WBI) with boost without regional nodal irradiation planned
-
Must meet one of the following three criteria:
- If multifocal breast cancer, then it must have been resected through a single lumpectomy incision with negative margins
-
Breast-conserving surgery with margins defined as follows:
-
Allowable options for mandatory axillary staging include:
- Sentinel node biopsy alone (if sentinel node is negative, pN0, pN0[IHC-,+])
-
Sentinel node biopsy alone, OR followed by axillary node dissection, for clinically node-negative patients as described below:
- Microscopic sentinel node (SN) positive (pN1mic)
- One or two SNs positive (pN1) without extracapsular extension
- Negative SN biopsy after neoadjuvant chemotherapy
-
Axillary node dissection is required following SN biopsy with a minimum total of 6 axillary nodes if any of the following exist:
- For > 2 positive SN
- Any positive SN biopsy after neoadjuvant chemotherapy
- For clinically (by either imaging or examination) T3 disease
- For extracapsular extension
- Axillary dissection alone (with a minimum of 6 axillary nodes)
-
CT-imaging of the ipsilateral breast within 28 days of study entry for the radiation treatment planning.
- Must be able to delineate on CT scan the extent of the target lumpectomy cavity for boost (placement of surgical clips to assist in treatment planning of the boost is strongly recommended)
-
No clinical evidence for distant metastases, based upon the following minimum diagnostic workup:
- History/physical examination, including breast exam (inspection and palpation of the breasts) and documentation of weight and Zubrod Performance Status of 0-2 within 28 days prior to study entry
- A mammogram of both right and left breast within only 1 time point of 90 days of the diagnostic biopsy establishing the diagnosis
- No prior invasive or in-situ carcinoma of the breast (prior LCIS is eligible)
- No American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) pathologic T4, N2 or N3, or M1 breast cancer
- Must not have two or more breast cancers that are not resectable through a single lumpectomy incision
- Must not be DCIS and ≥ 50 years old
- Must not be DCIS only (without an invasive component), nuclear grade 1 or 2 and < 50 years old
- No suspicious unresected microcalcification, densities, or palpable abnormalities (in the ipsilateral or contralateral breast) unless biopsied and found to be benign
- No non-epithelial breast malignancies such as sarcoma or lymphoma
- No Paget disease of the nipple
- No male breast cancer
- Breast implants allowed
PATIENT CHARACTERISTICS:
