Breast Cancer Clinical Trial
Personalized Second Chance Breast Conservation (PSCBC): A Prospective Phase II Clinical Study
Summary
The goal of the study is to investigate the feasibility of enabling a second chance for breast conservation in patients with in-breast recurrences after a previous lumpectomy and RT, investigators propose to test partial breast irradiation with the target volume encompassing the entire surgical bed with 1.0-1.5 cm margins.
Full Description
Patients will be treated with the fractionation of 30 Gy in 5 fractions over 1-2 weeks, which is the accelerated fractionation scheme of choice for Radiation Therapy (RT) naïve patients at New York Presbyterian using EBRT.
The main aim of the study is to evaluate the rate of early grade 3 toxicities with this approach.
