Brief summary

This is a Phase II trial of preoperative stereotactic radiation to the breast for low risk breast cancer.

Detailed description

This is a single arm phase II study design, evaluating the pathologic response (primary endpoint) as well as toxicity, cosmetic outcome, quality of life, and translational correlates (secondary endpoints) to pre-operative stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) to intact breast tumors in patients with hormone-receptor positive early stage breast cancer.

Inclusion criteria

* Female sex * Age \> or = to 50 years of age * Invasive ductal carcinoma * Clinically and radiographically T1 tumor * Clinically node negative * Clearly demarcated tumor on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), as determined by treating physician (MRI may be done after enrollment if not done prior) * Planning breast conserving surgery including sentinel node biopsy * ≥10% expression of ER and/or PR * HER2- using the current College of American Pathologists guidelines * Post-menopausal * Willing and able to provide informed consent

Exclusion criteria

* Medical conditions that may increase risk for poor cosmetic outcome (i.e. Lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, scleroderma * Pure DCIS without invasive cancer * Patients who have received or will be receiving neoadjuvant systemic therapy, endocrine therapy, or targeted agents * Breast implant in the involved breast unless the implant will be removed prior to initiation of study treatment * Positive pregnancy test * Subjects without placement of a biopsy clip at the diagnostic procedure who are unwilling to undergo clip placement. * Unable to meet dosimetric constraints due to tumor location and/or patient anatomy * Planning mastectomy * Unable to tolerate prone positioning

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Treatment Response Measured by Residual Cancer Burden (RCB)4-6 weeksNumber of participants with Residual Cancer Burden (RCB) designation 0 (also known as pathologic complete response (pCR)), and RCB I designation (combined endpoint of either of those designations) 4-6 weeks after pre-operative SBRT to intact breast tumors.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Number of Participants With Treatment-related ToxicityRT delivery up to 90 days after completion of surgery, up to 4 monthsThe number of participants with severe acute toxicity, defined as any CTCAE v4 grade 3 or higher toxicity noted from RT delivery up to 90 days after completion of surgery, up to 4 months.
Cosmetic Outcome (Patients)90 daysNumber of patients who report poor cosmetic outcomes from patient perspective at 90 days after pre-operative SBRT to intact breast tumors using the Radiation therapy oncology group (RTOG) cosmesis scale and digital images. RTOG Cosmesis Scale: 1 (excellent), 2 (good), 3 (fair), and 4 (poor)
Local Recurrence1 yearTo measure local recurrence in participants
Breast Cancer Treatment Outcomes Scale (BCTOS)Pre and Post surgery (Up to 3 years)To assess patient reported satisfaction and quality of life with treatment using the Breast Cancer Treatment Outcomes Scale (BCTOS). The BCTOS is a questionnaire that evaluates the aesthetic and functional outcomes of breast conserving surgery (BCS). Patients rate each item on the questionnaire using a four-point Likert scale, with 1 indicating no difference and 4 indicating a large difference between the treated and untreated breast. Score range 22-88. Higher scores indicate higher difference.
Cosmetic Outcome (Provider)90 daysNumber of providers who report poor cosmetic outcomes from provider perspective at 90 days after pre-operative SBRT to intact breast tumors using the RTOG (Radiation therapy oncology group) cosmesis scale and digital images. RTOG Cosmesis Scale: 1 (excellent), 2 (good), 3 (fair), and 4 (poor)
