This study is currently recruiting patients.
Sponsored by: | Fox Chase Cancer Center |
---|---|
Information provided by: | National Cancer Institute (NCI) |
Purpose
RATIONALE: Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells. Hypofractionated (fewer treatments than in standard radiation therapy) intensity-modulated radiation therapy (radiation directed at the tumor more precisely than in standard radiation therapy) with incorporated boost (an increase in the amount of radiation given during treatment) may kill more tumor cells.
PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of adjuvant hypofractionated intensity-modulated radiation therapy with incorporated boost in treating patients who have early-stage breast cancer.

Official Title: Phase II Adjuvant Study of Hypofractionated Intensity-Modulated Radiotherapy With Incorporated Boost in Patients With Early-Stage Breast Cancer
OBJECTIVES: Primary
Secondary
OUTLINE: Patients undergo adjuvant hypofractionated intensity-modulated radiotherapy with incorporated boost once daily 5 days a week for 4 weeks.
Quality of life is assessed within 1 month of starting radiotherapy, at 6 weeks after completion of radiotherapy, and then every 6 months for 5 years.
Patients are followed at 6 weeks and then every six months for 5 years.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 37-74 patients will be accrued for this study.
