Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate acute local toxicity of IORT at the dose of 20 Gy for the replacement of boost-external beam radiotherapy in Korean women who are candidates for breast-conserving treatment.
Detailed description
Local toxicity checklist * Hematoma needing surgical evacuation * Seroma needing more than three aspirations * Skin breakdown or delayed wound healing * Any complication needing surgical intervention * Radiation Therapy Oncology Group (RTOG version 2.0) toxicity grade 3 or 4 for dermatitis, telangiectasia, pain in irradiated field, or other. * Any complication of RTOG toxicity grade more than 2
Interventions
Operation day 1. Aftuer tumor lump is removed and negative tumor margins are achieved, applicator of Intrabeam® is located within tumor cavity. 2. Purse string suture pulles up tissues and wraps up the applicator. 3. Intraoperative radiotherapy using Intrabeam® (20Gy) is followed. 4. After IORT, applicator was out of the operative field, and usual wound closure will be done. * Postoperative period * Chemotherapy WBRT (46 Gy) for 4\ 5 weeks * Endocrine therapy or target therapy

Intervention model description
Evaluate the safety of intraoperative radiotherapy using Intrabeam in Korean patients with early breast cancer.
Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
* Histologically confirmed and newly diagnosed non-metastatic operable primary breast cancer * Primary tumor \<5cm, measured by ultrasonography - N0-3 (any N if resectable) and no evidence of distant metastasis (M) (isolated supraclavicular node involvement allowed) * Age ≥18-years women with good performance status (ECOG 0-1) * No breast operation is allowed except diagnostic biopsy * Women with ductal carcinoma in situ diagnosed by preoperative biopsy are allowed
Exclusion criteria
* Pregnancy or unwillingness to use a reliable contraceptive method in women of child-bearing potential. * Patients who received prior chemotherapy or radiotherapy for breast cancer * Patients who have history of cancer other than in situ uterine cervix cancer or non-melanoma skin cancer * The depth of tumor from skin measured by ultrasonography is less than 1cm. * Contraindications to breast conservative surgery * Multicentric breast cancer (tumors in more than one quadrant) * Diffuse malignant appearing microcalcification * Prior therapeutic radiation to the breast region * Small breast, which is not possible to achieve clear margins in relation to a cosmetically acceptable result * History of collagen vascular disease, such as active scleroderma and active lupus * Postoperative exclusion * Patients who require re-excision due to positive resection margin * The depth of cavity from skin after lumpectomy is less than 0.5cm
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Acute local toxicity in breast receiving IORT | Up to 6 months | Acute local toxicities of ipsilateral breast occurred within 6 months after IORT Local toxicity checklist * Hematoma needing surgical evacuation * Seroma needing more than three aspirations * Skin breakdown or delayed wound healing * Any complication needing surgical intervention * Radiation Therapy Oncology Group (RTOG version 2.0) toxicity grade 3 or 4 for dermatitis, telangiectasia, pain in irradiated field, or other. * Any complication of RTOG toxicity grade more than 2 Expected number of patients with acute local toxicites associated with IORT-booster treatement is 32. Considering a drop-out rate of 10%, the trial would need to enroll 215 patients in total. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Delayed local toxicity | Up to 5 years | Monitoring of local toxicity evaluated at 2 years and 5 years |
| Cosmesis | Up to 2 years | Questionnaire on cosmetic outcome of operation site Qualified assessment based on BCCT ver 2.0 |
| Local tumor recurrence in ipsillateral breast | Up to 5 years | IBTR rate at 5 years |
| Dosimetray | At time of surgery | -Dosimetry in tumor cavity and correlation with acute and late complication rates * Identification of anatomical indication * MRI volumetry (Breast-to-tumor ratio) * Skin depth measured at preoperative US |
