Brief summary

Quality Control Registry for IORT used as an anticipiated boost with 20 Gy at the applicator surface followed by EBRT

Detailed description

Quality Control Registry of a standard treatment with intraoperative radiotherapy during breast conserving surgery with 20 Gy at the applicator surface as an advanced boost followed by a shortened external beam radiotherapy. This is a prospective phase IV study to evaluate real life data of IORT Boost. Study runs in Germany with 13 active centers recruiting. Due to the nature of the study (registry) there is no need for randomization. Inclusion of n = \>1000 patients is planned.

MeasureTime frameDescription
Number of Patients With Local Recurrence5 yearsThe follow-up was carried out every six months for the first two years, and then once a year. The follow-up always included a mammography in addition to a clinical examination. Kaplan-Meier-estimates were done to calculate the local recurrence rate

MeasureTime frameDescription
Percentage of Patients With Chronic Higher Grade Fibrosis After IORT Boost84 monthsFollow-up for toxicity assessment (LENT SOMA criteria: fibrosis, teleangiectasia, retraction, pain, breast edema, lymphedema, hyperpigmentation, ulceration) and oncological data took place before surgery, 6 weeks to 90 days after EBRT, 6 months after IORT, and then annually using standardized case report forms (CRFs).

Participant flow

Participants by arm

ArmCount
IORT Boost With 20 Gy and Standard Whole Breast Irradition
All patients gave their informed consent prior to surgery and were planned for an anticipated boost immediately after tumor resection. Additionally, all patients were planned for standard whole breast radiotherapy with external beam radiation (EBRT). IORT with low-kV x-rays was given immediately after tumor resection into the tumorbed with 12-20 Gy as a single fraction with the INTRABEAM® system. EBRT was given according to standard of care procedures with conventional or hypofractioned schedules.
