Trial Description

Summary

RATIONALE: Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. Giving radiation therapy after surgery kill any remaining tumor cells and may be an effective treatment for breast cancer.

PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well radiation therapy works in treating women with locally recurrent breast cancer previously treated with repeat breast-conserving surgery.

Further Study Information

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • To evaluate skin, breast, and chest wall adverse events occurring within 1 year after completion of 3D-conformal partial-breast re-irradiation following repeat breast-preserving surgery in patients with locally recurrent breast carcinoma.

Secondary

  • To evaluate the adverse events at 1 year and at any time of this regimen in these patients.
  • To evaluate in-breast control rate in patients treated with this regimen.
  • To evaluate freedom-from-mastectomy rate in these patients.
  • To evaluate the rate of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in this patient population and to document eradication of CTCs by locoregional therapy.
  • To determine whether translational objective will correlate with eradication or presence of CTCs with in-breast recurrence and distant metastasis-free survival.
  • To evaluate cosmesis as judged by the patient and independent evaluation.
  • To evaluate distant metastasis-free survival, mastectomy-free survival, and overall survival of patients treated with this regimen.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

Patients undergo 3-dimensional conformal accelerated partial-breast irradiation twice daily, 5 days a week, for 3 weeks.

Some patients undergo blood sample collection at baseline and within 3 weeks after completion of radiotherapy for circulating tumor cells analysis.

Some patients complete questionnaires on cosmesis at baseline and at 1 and 3 years following radiotherapy.

After completion of study therapy, patients are followed up periodically for 4-5 years and then every year thereafter.

Eligibility Criteria

DISEASE CHARACTERISTICS:

  • Histologically confirmed locally recurrent breast carcinoma consistent with the following cell types:
  • Invasive ductal breast carcinoma
  • Medullary ductal breast carcinoma
  • Tubular ductal breast carcinoma
  • Mucinous ductal breast carcinoma
  • Lobular breast carcinoma
  • Ductal carcinoma in situ
  • No Paget disease of the nipple
  • Initial lumpectomy followed by whole-breast radiotherapy performed over 1 year ago
  • Repeat lumpectomy performed within the past 42 days
  • Target lumpectomy cavity must be clearly defined and the target lumpectomy cavity/ whole-breast reference volume must be < 30% based on a post-operative, pre-treatment CT scan
  • Histopathologic confirmation via lumpectomy of local in-breast ipsilateral recurrence within the past 120 days and the following must be true:
  • Tumor size ≤ 3 cm in greatest dimension on pathologic specimen
  • Negative histologic margins of resection and no tumor on ink following breast-preserving surgery
  • Re-excision to achieve negative margins allowed
  • Axilla negative or ≤ 3 positive lymph nodes without extracapsular extension
  • If the in-breast recurrence is DCIS and/or microinvasive disease, a sentinel lymph node (SLN) evaluation is not required, but if performed:
  • Patients with a negative sentinal lymph node (SLN) biopsy are eligible for enrollment
  • Patients with a positive SLN biopsy require an axillary lymph node (ALN) dissection (ALND is not required if the SLN is not identified)
  • Patient is eligible if 0-3 positive ALNs without extracapsular extension is documented
  • If the in-breast recurrence is invasive disease and:
  • No prior ALN dissection or SLN dissection only:
  • Patient is required to undergo axillary evaluation with either a SLN or ALN dissection
  • If the SLN is not identified or if the SLN is positive for metastatic disease then an ALN dissection is required
  • Patient is eligible for enrollment if encounter 0-3 positive lymph nodes without extracapsular extension
  • • Prior ALN dissection: negative clinical exam: patient is eligible for enrollment
  • It is recommended, but not required, that the patient undergo ultrasound evaluation of the axilla and the lymph node draining regions of the breast; any suspicious areas are to be biopsied and if positive followed with an ALN dissection
  • Patient is eligible for enrollment if biopsies are negative or 0-3 axillary lymph nodes without extracapsular extension are encountered
  • Prior ALN dissection: positive clinical exam: biopsy required
  • If biopsy is negative, patient is eligible for enrollment
  • If biopsy is positive an ALN dissection is required
  • Patient is eligible for enrollment if biopsies are negative or 0-3 axillary lymph nodes without extracapsular extension encountered
  • Ipsilateral breast mammogram and MRI within 120 days prior to study entry
  • Contralateral breast mammogram within 12 months of study entry
  • No more than 120 days since whole-body PET-CT scan OR CT scan of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis, and bone scan
  • No multicentric ipsilateral breast recurrence or regional recurrence (other than axilla)
  • Patients must have a breast technically amenable to partial-breast irradiation
  • No metastatic disease documented by physical exam or radiographic evaluation (for patients with invasive disease)
  • No skin involvement
  • No prior contralateral mastectomy
  • Estrogen and progesterone status must be known

PATIENT CHARACTERISTICS:

  • Zubrod performance status 0-1
  • Menopausal status not specified
  • Not pregnant or nursing
  • Negative pregnancy test
  • Fertile patients must use effective contraception
  • No other invasive malignancy within the past 3 years except ipsilateral breast cancer and/or nonmelanoma skin cancer
  • No collagenous diseases, specifically systemic lupus erythematosus, scleroderma, or dermatomyositis
  • No psychiatric or addictive disorders that would preclude obtaining informed consent

PRIOR CONCURRENT THERAPY:

  • See Disease Characteristics
  • More than 2 weeks since prior chemotherapy and recovered
  • No concurrent intensity-modulated radiotherapy
  • No concurrent chemotherapeutic agents, including trastuzumab
