Study Summary

The purpose of this study is to identify potential genetic and other molecular biomarkers of response to radiation therapy in breast cancer that may help to personalize breast cancer radiation treatment in the future.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Breast cancer patients with DCIS with an indication for adjuvant radiation therapy

Exclusion

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Any specific systemic oncological therapy

Study Design

Total Participants: 200
Study Start date:
November 01, 2019
Estimated Completion Date:
December 31, 2029

Study Description

Monocentric prospective clinical study including DCIS patients treated at the Institute of Oncology Ljubljana. Patients treated with adjuvant radiotherapy and without systemic therapy are eligible for the study.

Adverse events of radiation treatment will be assessed after radiotherapy and during 5-year follow up and classified according to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events v5.0.

Molecular biomarkers will be assessed before radiotherapy, after radiotherapy and during follow up. DNA will be isolated from whole blood samples obtained before radiation treatment. Circulating biomarkers will be isolated from plasma samples before treatment, after treatment and during follow-up. Written informed consent will be obtained from all included patients and the study design was approved by the National Medical Ethics Committee.
