Description:
This phase IV trial studies the side effects of intraoperative radiation therapy and how well
it works in treating patients with breast cancer undergoing breast-conserving surgery.
Delivering radiation one time to the area where the tumor was removed while the patient is
still in the operating room may kill any residual tumor cells and may be as effective as
standard radiation therapy in patients with early stage breast cancer.

Purpose
This phase IV trial studies the side effects of intraoperative radiation therapy and how well
it works in treating patients with breast cancer undergoing breast-conserving surgery.
Delivering radiation one time to the area where the tumor was removed while the patient is
still in the operating room may kill any residual tumor cells and may be as effective as
standard radiation therapy in patients with early stage breast cancer.
Detailed Description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To establish eligibility criteria based on previously published trials and studies in
order to allow women who meet these criteria to receive intraoperative radiation therapy
(IORT) on an Institutional Review Board (IRB)-approved protocol.
II. To systematically collect and assess acute and long-term toxicity and outcomes in larger
cohort of patients.
III. To study the efficacy and toxicity of breast radiotherapy given intra-operatively as a
single fraction after breast conserving surgery, with or without whole breast radiation, as
indicated by pathologic risk factors, in women with early stage breast cancer.
IV. In-breast local failure and patterns of in-breast failure. V. Ipsilateral regional nodal
failure. VI. Toxicity and morbidity. VII. Relapse-free survival. VIII. Overall survival.
OUTLINE:
Patients undergo IORT in a single fraction over 15-40 minutes at the time of standard of care
lumpectomy.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up within 6 weeks and then every 6
months for 3 years and yearly for 2 years.

Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- Suitable for breast conserving surgery
- T1 and T2 (< 3.5 cm), N0, M0
Exclusion Criteria:
- Axillary lymph node positive breast cancer
- Tumor size > 3.5 cm
- Extensive intraductal component (EIC >= 25% of the lumpectomy specimen involved with
ductal carcinoma in situ), as assessed on surgical pathologic lumpectomy specimen
- Multicentric cancer in the same breast as diagnosed by clinical examination,
mammography, ultrasound; magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or pathologic assessment,
not amenable to excision with negative margins with a single lumpectomy
- Inability to assess pathologic margin status
- Synchronous bilateral breast cancer at the time of diagnosis
- Ipsilateral breast had a previous cancer and/or prior in-field radiation
- Patients known to have BRCA1/2 gene mutations (testing for gene mutations is not
required)
- Patients undergoing primary systemic treatment (hormones or chemotherapy) as initial
treatment with neoadjuvant reducing tumor size
- Previous history of malignant disease does not preclude entry if the expectation of
relapse-free survival at 10 years or greater
- Any factor included as exclusion criteria in the participating center's treatment
policy statement
- Additional exclusion criteria for University of California San Francisco (UCSF) (as
laid out in the Treatment Policy):
- Patients under the age of 50
- Estrogen receptor negative (as defined in Treatment Policy under "Pathology")
- Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) positive (as defined in Treatment
Policy under "HER2")
- Lymphovascular invasion
- High grade
- Tumors > 3 cm
- Node positive patients
- Prior chemotherapy or hormone therapy
Maximum Eligible Age: | N/A |
Minimum Eligible Age: | 45 Years |
Eligible Gender: | Female |
Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Primary Outcome Measures
Measure: | Incidence of local recurrence |
Time Frame: | Up to 5 years |
Safety Issue: | |
Description: | Local tumor control is defined as no recurrent tumor in the ipsilateral breast. Patients will be regularly monitored as per the individual center's policy provided this meets the minimum trial criteria for follow-up with physical examination at least every 6 months for 3 years and yearly at 4 and 5 years post-treatment. Confirmation of recurrence will follow clinical examination and cytology or biopsy. The two patient cohorts will not be separated for the analysis regarding local control. |
