Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the rate of early and intermediate toxicity related to the AccuBoost System for delivery of APBI in women with resected, early stage breast cancer.

Interventions

RADIATIONAccelerated partial breast irradiation

Accuboost APBI 34.0 Gy in 10 fractions

OTHERExtended Follow up

This arm extends follow up at the Rhode Island Hospital location to 5 years. Annual mammograms and additional documentation is required to be submitted only if completed.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Early and Intermediate Toxicity2 yearsAny toxicity related to the radiation treatment will be scored and graded using National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v3.0 (Appendix 4). Acute side effects are any side effects occurring within 3 months of treatment. Intermediate side effects are any side effects occurring between 3 months and 2 years. This is reported in the outcome table.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Cosmetic Outcome2 yearsCosmetic results will be evaluated at each follow-up visit by the treating radiation oncologist using the Harvard criteria inclusive of discomfort during treatment(Pain), Fatigue and Acute skin reaction. This is reported in the outcome table.
