Temporal Immunologic Changes With Hypofractionated Radiation-Induced DNA Damage in Breast Cancer

Quantifying Temporal Immunologic Changes With Hypofractionated Radiation-Induced DNA Damage in Breast Cancer


Sponsor

M.D. Anderson Cancer Center

Enrollment

12 participants

Start Date

Sep 15, 2023

Study Type

OBSERVATIONAL

Conditions

Summary

This study assesses changes to the immune cells following hypofractionated radiation-induced DNA damage in breast cancer patients. Radiation therapy may cause immune cells to enter tumors and target cancer cells. The goal of this study is to measure the change in the level of immune cells in the tumor before and after radiation therapy.


Eligibility

Min Age: 18 Years

Inclusion Criteria4

  • Patients \>= 18 years of age with biopsy proven invasive breast cancer
  • Breast cancer that appears to be superficially accessible to a tumor punch biopsy
  • Patients thought to derive clinical benefit from palliative RT to the breast/chestwall
  • In discussions with the medical oncologist, if clinically reasonable, systemic therapy will be held during RT

Exclusion Criteria4

  • A history of prior radiation to the area requiring radiation for which the attending physician believes reirradiation could not be safely delivered
  • Pregnancy
  • Active usage of anticoagulant medications that are considered to pose an increased risk of tumor punch biopsies
  • Receipt of immunotherapy or chemotherapy 7 days prior to start of RT
