DESCARTES: De-ESCAlation of RadioTherapy in Patients With Pathologic Complete rESponse to Neoadjuvant Systemic Therapy
Sponsor
The Netherlands Cancer Institute
Enrollment
595 participants
Start Date
Oct 7, 2022
Study Type
INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
This study evaluates whether radiotherapy can safely be omitted in breast cancer patients with T1-2N0 tumors who achieve a pathologic complete response after neoadjuvant systemic therapy and breast-conserving surgery
Eligibility
Sex: FEMALEMin Age: 18 Years
Plain Language Summary
Simplified for easier understanding
This study is exploring whether women with breast cancer who have a complete response to pre-surgery chemotherapy (meaning no cancer is found in the removed tissue) can safely reduce or skip radiation therapy after surgery. The goal is to avoid unnecessary radiation side effects in patients who may no longer need it.
**You may be eligible if...**
- You are a woman aged 18 or older
- You have invasive breast cancer (hormone receptor positive, HER2+, or triple negative)
- You received chemotherapy before surgery (neoadjuvant therapy)
- After surgery, pathology confirmed no remaining invasive cancer (complete pathological response)
**You may NOT be eligible if...**
- Cancer was still found in the breast or lymph nodes after surgery
- You have had prior breast cancer or radiation to the chest
- You have inflammatory breast cancer
- You are pregnant
- You have a condition that makes radiation especially risky
