Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
This is a prospective, randomized, monocentric, non-inferiority interventional clinical study comparing an Accelerated Partial Breast Irradiation (APBI) for the surgical bed of early-stage breast cancer patients with favorable histological subtypes, using stereotactic radiotherapy in a single dose of 15.5 Gy with Simultaneous Integrated Boost (SIB) to 21 Gy (study treatment, delivered in a single fraction) versus multifractionated radiotherapy of 30 Gy in 5 fractions (standard treatment, delivered in 5 fractions).

- type
- EXPERIMENTAL
- label
- Arm 1- Single-fraction APBI
- description
- Patients in the study (randomized to arm 1) will be treated with a total dose (TD) of 15.5 Gy to the Planning Tumor Volume (PTV) with simultaneous integrated boost (SIB) to a TD of 21 Gy to the tumor bed. For each patient, a stereotactic radiotherapy treatment plan will be created to ensure adequate coverage of the treatment volumes and the tolerability of the Organs At Risk (OAR). Specific, already validated dose-volume constraints will be applied for the evaluation of OARs. The dose-volume histogram (DVH) for the Gross Tumor Volume (GTV), Clinical Target Volume (CTV), PTV, and OAR will be calculated in order to achieve the best optimization in terms of tolerability and efficacy.
