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

DEVICEIntraoperative radiotherapy using Intrabeam®

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

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

MeasureTime frameDescription
Acute local toxicity in breast receiving IORTUp to 6 monthsAcute 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

MeasureTime frameDescription
Delayed local toxicityUp to 5 yearsMonitoring of local toxicity evaluated at 2 years and 5 years
