About this trial
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.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Stage 0 & I & II (< 3 cm) breast carcinoma
Lesions of < 3 cm diameter
Invasive carcinoma of any subtype and grade or ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS)
Nodal status: node-negative (pN0) or micro-metastatic (pN1mi) (patients with pN1mi status can be treated, but due to the limited clinical evidence, individual decision is needed)
Disqualifiers
Stage III-IV breast cancer
Surgical margins that cannot be microscopically assessed
Extensive intraductal component (EIC+)
Extensive lymphovascular invasion (LVI+) (focal is allowed)
Trial design
Single group
Treatments tested in this trial
single-fraction very accelerated partial breast irradiation
RadiationAdjuvant accelerated partial breast brachytherapy, with interstitial multicatheter technique, in one fraction.
Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Five-year incidence of late grade ≥ 2 side effects
Radiation side effects based on Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) (grade 1 to grade 5, higher score worse); and with the Radiation Therapy Oncology Group / European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (RTOG/EORTC) Late Radiation Morbidity Scoring Schema (grade 1 to grade 4, higher score worse).
Secondary outcomes
Incidence (5-year actuarial rate) of ipsilateral breast recurrence (IBR)
Incidence (5-year actuarial rate) of regional relapse (RR)
Incidence (5-year actuarial rate) of contralateral breast cancer (CBC)
Incidence (5-year actuarial rate) of distant metastasis (DM)
