Five fraction accelerated partial breast irradiation using noninvasive image-guided breast brachytherapy: Feasibility and acute toxicity.

Abstract:

PURPOSE:To improve efficiency, convenience, and cost, a prospective phase II trial was initiated to evaluate accelerated partial breast irradiation delivered with noninvasive image-guided breast brachytherapy (NIBB) via five once-daily fractions. METHODS AND MATERIALS:Women ≥50 years old with early-stage breast cancer undergoing breast conserving surgery were enrolled. Eligibility criteria included invasive carcinoma ≤2.0 cm or ductal carcinoma in situ ≤3.0 cm, ER positive (if invasive), lymph node negative, LVI absent, and margins negative by 2 mm. Patients received a total dose of 28.5 Gy in five daily fractions. NIBB was delivered using two orthogonal axes for each fraction. Applicators were selected to encompass the lumpectomy cavity with a 1.0 cm clinical target volume margin and 0 to 0.5 cm planning target volume margin. Acute and late toxicity was assessed based on CTCAE v3.0. RESULTS:Forty patients with a mean age of 67 years underwent protocol treatment. Mean tumor size was 1.0 cm (0.3-2.0 cm). Eighty percent had invasive carcinoma and the remainder had ductal carcinoma in situ. Mean tumor bed volume was 21 cc (5-79 cc) and mean breast volume was 1319 cc (499-3044 cc). Mean breast separation with compression was 6.7 cm (3.5-8.9 cm). All patients tolerated well. Median discomfort with compression was 1 (range: 0-7) on a 10-point pain scale. Acute skin reaction was Grade 0-1 in 70%, Grade 2 in 28%, and Grade 3 in 3%. Acute skin toxicity was not associated with breast size but was associated with larger breast separation with compression (p < 0.01) and larger applicator size (p < 0.01). No Grade 3+ late toxicity or local recurrences have been observed at a median followup of 14 months. CONCLUSIONS:Accelerated partial breast irradiation delivered using NIBB over five daily fractions is a convenient treatment option that is feasible and well tolerated.
