Breast Cancer
Conditions
Brief summary
This study aim to investigate the effect of 5-fraction stereotactic partial breast irradiation and whole breast irradiation on patient-reported outcomes, cosmetic outcome, and breast tissue fibrosis in early-stage breast cancer.
Interventions
After breast- conservating surgery, all patients are allowed to receive partial breast irradiation or whole breast irradiation after surgery according to the international guidelines and physician's discretion.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Change of patient reported psychosocial functioning score | Before radiotherapy (allowed to 8 weeks before radiotherapy) | Patient reported psychosocial functioning measured in 7 point Likert scale |
| Change of patient reported patient treatment satisfaction score | Before radiotherapy (allowed to 8 weeks before radiotherapy) | Patient reported patient treatment satisfaction measured in 7 point Likert scale |
| Change of patient reported physical functioning score | Before radiotherapy (allowed to 8 weeks before radiotherapy) | Patient reported physical functioning measured in 7 point Likert scale |
| Change of patient reported body image score | Before radiotherapy (allowed to 8 weeks before radiotherapy) | Patient reported body image score measured in 7 point Likert scale |
| Change of breast cosmesis measures (excellent/good/poor) | Before radiotherapy (allowed to 8 weeks before radiotherapy | breast cosmesis result is measures by BCCT.core (Breast Cancer Conservative Treatment cosmetic results) software \- Investigators will whether there are any changes on patient-reported outcomes, cosmetic outcome, and breast tissue fibrosis after radiotherapy. Any differences of theses parameters according to the radiotherapy techniques (PBI vs. WBI) will be examed. |
| Change of breast-tissue fibrosis measures (gram) | Before radiotherapy (allowed to 8 weeks before radiotherapy | breast-tissue fibrosis is measured by tissue compliance meter device. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Incidence of Radiotherapy-related complications | Before radiotherapy (allowed to 8 weeks before radiotherapy) | Investigators will check whether there are any kinds of radiotherapy-related complications after PBI or WBI. Any differences of complications according to the radiotherapy techniques will be examed. |
