Hypofractionated Irradiation At Regional Nodal Area for Breast Cancer Vs Existed Standard Treatment
Hypofractionated Versus Conventional Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy for Breast Cancer Patients With an Indication for Regional Nodal Irradiation: A Randomized Multi-center Phase III Trial
Ruijin Hospital
801 participants
Feb 21, 2019
INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
The main objective of this trial is to investigate the efficacy and safety of hypofractionated radiotherapy of 3 or 4 weeks by comparing with conventional radiotherapy of 5 or 6 weeks using intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) in breast cancer patients with an indication for regional nodal irradiation (RNI) following mastectomy or breast conserving surgery. Patients will be randomized to hypofractionated radiotherapy or conventional radiotherapy delivered to chest wall or whole breast and regional lymph regions (including supraclavicular and internal mammary lymph nodes). Eligible breast cancer patients will be followed for at least 5 years to evaluate the difference in 5-year locoregional recurrence, over survival, distant metastasis, toxicity and life quality between two groups.
