About this trial
The standard treatment for participants whose cancer has returned after breast conserving surgery is radiation given twice daily (separated by at least 6 hours) for a total of 30 treatments. The purpose of this study is to find out if giving radiation once a day for 15 treatments after repeat breast conserving surgery works as well as giving it the standard way.
Eligibility criteria
Qualifiers
Participants' recurrences must have histologically confirmed ductal carcinoma in-situ, invasive ductal, medullary, papillary, colloid (mucinous), tubular or mixed histologies. Three years of time must have elapsed since the end of the last course of whole breast irradiation.
Lesion size < 3 cm treated with a partial mastectomy. Participants with invasive cancer and clinically and radiographically negative axillas do not require an axillary lymph node sampling unless they did not have prior axillary lymph node sampling (e.g. previous cancer was DCIS). Participants with DCIS as their recurrence do not require surgical assessment of the axilla. Repeat sentinel lymph node biopsy is permitted.
Negative resection margins with at least no tumor on ink or a negative re-excision.
Participants with invasive recurrence must have a negative re-staging work-up consisting of either a CT chest/abdomen and a bone scan or a PET scan.
Disqualifiers
Participants with nodal or distant metastatic disease < 3 years since prior radiation.
Participants with invasive pure lobular carcinoma, extensive lobular carcinoma in-situ, extensive ductal carcinoma in-situ (spanning more than 3 cm), or uncontrolled nonepithelial breast malignancies such as lymphoma or sarcoma.
Participants with multicentric carcinoma (tumors in different quadrants of the breast or tumors separated by at least 4 cm). Palpable or radiographically suspicious contralateral axillary, ipsilateral or contralateral supraclavicular, infraclavicular, or internal mammary lymph nodes unless these are histologically or cytologically confirmed negative.
Participants with Paget's disease of the nipple.
