Abstract
Aim: To assess for the first time the safety and feasibility of combining photon-IntraOperative RadioTherapy (ph-IORT) with hypofractionated whole-breast irradiation (hWBI) in patients referred to adjuvant radiotherapy after Breast-Conserving Surgery (BCS).
Methods: From February 2019 to August 2020, patients referred for breast-conserving surgery (BCS) in our institution were prospectively included in the present trial. BCS was discussed in the multidisciplinary tumor board (MTB). 20 Gy were prescribed to the surface of the applicator of an Intrabeam®ph-IORT during BCS. hWBI (40.5 Gy/2.67 Gy/15frx) was planned to be administered 3-5w after BCS. All patients were treated by hWBI VMAT-Rapid-Arc&Daily Exac-Trac-IGRT. Systemic adjuvant treatment was indicated following international guidelines. The aim of this study was to assess for the first time the local control, cancer-specific survival, and overall survival rates of BC patients treated by combined photon-IORT-boost and hWBI after BCS. Secondary endpoints include the long-term toxicity and cosmetic outcomes observed in these patients.
Results: Fifty-seven patients were included in the trial. No ≥ G3 late toxicity was observed at 12 months of follow-up and thereafter. After a median follow-up of 61 months (range 54-66 months), all patients were free of local or regional relapse. Two patients had a second tumor in the contralateral breast. One triple-negative patient developed lung metastases 3 years after her initial diagnosis. Cause specific and overall survival were 100% at 5 years.
Conclusion: We demonstrated for the first time that ph-IORT + hWBI is effective and safe in the long-term for patients referred to adjuvant RT after BCS.
期刊介绍:
Clinical and Translational Oncology is an international journal devoted to fostering interaction between experimental and clinical oncology. It covers all aspects of research on cancer, from the more basic discoveries dealing with both cell and molecular biology of tumour cells, to the most advanced clinical assays of conventional and new drugs. In addition, the journal has a strong commitment to facilitating the transfer of knowledge from the basic laboratory to the clinical practice, with the publication of educational series devoted to closing the gap between molecular and clinical oncologists. Molecular biology of tumours, identification of new targets for cancer therapy, and new technologies for research and treatment of cancer are the major themes covered by the educational series. Full research articles on a broad spectrum of subjects, including the molecular and cellular bases of disease, aetiology, pathophysiology, pathology, epidemiology, clinical features, and the diagnosis, prognosis and treatment of cancer, will be considered for publication.
