Summary
Study start date: November 1, 2003
Actual date on which the first participant was enrolled.OBJECTIVES: Primary * Determine the toxicity associated with adjuvant hypofractionated intensity-modulated radiotherapy using an incorporated boost in patients with early-stage breast cancer. Secondary * Determine the long-term cosmetic result and quality of life of patients treated with this regimen. * Determine the long-term local control in patients treated with this regimen. OUTLINE: Patients undergo adjuvant hypofractionated intensity-modulated radiotherapy with incorporated boost once daily 5 days a week for 4 weeks. Quality of life is assessed within 1 month of starting radiotherapy, at 6 weeks after completion of radiotherapy, and then every 6 months for 5 years. Patients are followed at 6 weeks and then every six months for 5 years. PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 37-74 patients will be accrued for this study.
