Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To evaluate early and early-delayed toxicity (defined as the first year following treatment). Toxicity will be monitored at fixed time points using CTCAE, before and during treatment and 3, 9 and 18 months after breast conserving surgery | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Cosmetic outcome and Quality of Life are important secondary outcome measures. Quality of Life will be evaluated using EORTC-QOL questionnaires (EORTC-QoL C30 & Breast Cancer module QLQ BR23). Cosmetic outcome will be evaluated using three previously used methods in VUmc consisting of a panel, BCCT.core-software and patient self-evaluation. Offline dosimetric comparison between this new MR-guided adaptive approach in breath-hold and current techniques described in recent literature | — |
