Summary

This phase II trial studies the side effects and how well radiation therapy works in treating patients with stage 0-II breast cancer. Specialized radiation therapy that delivers a high dose of radiation directly to the tumor may kill more tumor cells and cause less damage to normal tissue.

Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To assess the cosmesis, acute toxicity and late toxicity in patients treated with accelerated partial breast irradiation delivered with proton radiation.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To evaluate the convenience of accelerated partial breast irradiation and quality of life during accelerated partial breast irradiation.

II. To estimate the in-breast tumor control rates in patients treated with accelerated partial breast irradiation delivered with proton radiation.

III. Compare dosimetry to alternate treatment modalities.

OUTLINE

Within 10 weeks of last breast cancer surgery, patients undergo accelerated partial breast irradiation (APBI) delivered with proton radiation twice daily (BID) for 5 days.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 6 weeks, 6 months, 1 year, and 18 months, then annually for 10 years.

Eligibility		Yes	No	Not Sure
Inclusion Criteria
	The patient must consent to be in the study and must have signed an approved consent form conforming with federal and institutional guidelines
	The patient must have stage 0, I, or II breast cancer; if stage II, the tumor size must be 3 cm or less
	On histological examination, the tumor must be ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) or invasive adenocarcinoma of the breast
	Surgical treatment of the breast must have been lumpectomy; the margins of the resected specimen must be histologically free of tumor (DCIS and invasive); reexcision of surgical margins is permitted
	Gross disease must be unifocal with pathologic (invasive and/or DCIS) tumor size 3 cm or less; (patients with microscopic multifocality are eligible as long as total pathologic tumor size is 3 cm or less)
	Patients with invasive breast cancer are required to have axillary staging which can include sentinel node biopsy alone (if sentinel node is negative), sentinel node biopsy followed by axillary dissection or sampling with a minimum total of 6 axillary nodes (if sentinel node is positive), or axillary dissection alone (with a minimum of 6 axillary nodes); axillary staging is not required for patients with DCIS
	The target lumpectomy cavity must be clearly delineated and the target lumpectomy cavity/whole breast reference volume must be less than or equal to 30% based on the postoperative/pre-enrollment computed tomography (CT) scan
	Patients are eligible if, based on the postoperative CT scan, partial breast irradiation (PBI) is judged to be technically deliverable
	Patients with a history of non-breast malignancies are eligible if they have been disease-free for 5 or more years prior to enrollment and are deemed by their physician to be at low risk for recurrence; patients with the following cancers are eligible if diagnosed and treated within the past 5 years; carcinoma in situ of the cervix, carcinoma in situ of the colon, melanoma in situ, and basal cell and squamous cell carcinoma of the skin
Exclusion Criteria
	Men are not eligible for this study
	T2 (> 3.0 cm), T3, stage III, or stage IV breast cancer
	More than 3 histologically positive axillary nodes
	Axillary nodes with definite evidence of microscopic or macroscopic extracapsular extension
	Palpable or radiographically suspicious ipsilateral or contralateral axillary, supraclavicular, infraclavicular, or internal mammary nodes at time of enrollment unless there is histologic confirmation that these nodes are negative for tumor
	Suspicious microcalcifications, or densities (in the ipsilateral or contralateral breast as documented on mammogram or breast ultrasound) unless biopsied and found to be benign
	Non-epithelial breast malignancies such as sarcoma or lymphoma
	Proven multicentric carcinoma (invasive cancer or DCIS) in more than one quadrant or separated by 4 or more centimeters
	Paget's disease of the nipple
	Synchronous bilateral invasive or non-invasive breast cancer
	Surgical margins that cannot be microscopically assessed or are positive at pathologic evaluation; (if surgical margins are rendered free of disease by reexcision, the patient is eligible)
	Clear delineation of the extent of the target lumpectomy cavity not possible
	Treatment plan that includes regional nodal irradiation
	Prior radiation to the index breast
	Documented diagnosis of collagen vascular disease, specifically dermatomyositis with a creatinine phosphokinase (CPK) level above normal or with an active skin rash, systemic lupus erythematosus, or scleroderma
	Pregnancy or lactation at enrollment
	Women of reproductive potential must agree to use an effective non-hormonal method of contraception during therapy
