Scientific titleRadiation dose intensity study in breast cancer in young women: a randomised phase III trial of additional dose to the tumour bed
Study acronymYoung Boost Trial
Study objectives10 Gy additional boost to the tumour bed will yield an increase in local control at 10 years from 88% to 93%, with still acceptable cosmesis.
Ethics approval(s)Ethics approval received from the local medical ethics committee
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedBreast cancer
InterventionAll patients will be treated with breast conserving therapy, followed by 50 Gy to the whole breast. Patients will be randomised to receive a boost dose of 16 Gy or 26 Gy to the tumour bed.
Intervention typeOther
Primary outcome measureLocal control at 10 years.
Secondary outcome measures1. Cosmetic outcome
2. Additional objective is to test the genotypic and phenotypic profiles of breast tumours in young patients with invasive breast cancer, and its relation to:
2.1. Local recurrence after Breast Conserving Therapy (BCT)
2.2. Lymph node metastases
2.3. Distant metastases and survival
2.4. Radio sensitivity
2.5. Age
3. To determine whether improved genotypic and phenotypic profiles can be determined related to the endpoints mentioned in A
Overall study start date01/07/2004
Completion date01/07/2009

Eligibility

Participant type(s)Patient
Age groupAdult
SexNot Specified
Target number of participants1160
Key inclusion criteria1. Age 50 years or younger
2. Histological diagnosis of invasive mammary cancer including all subtypes of invasive adenocarcinoma
3. Tumour location and extension imaged prior to surgery using at least mammography and ultrasound
4. Unicentric tumours and multifocal tumours removed using a wide local excision; microscopic radical resection (focally involved margins allowed, defined as: any Ductal Carcinoma In Situ [DCIS] or invasive carcinoma in three or fewer low-power fields (using a x 4 objective and a x 10 ocular lens, which has a diameter of 5 mm per low-power microscopic fields)
5. Sentinel lymph node biopsy and/or axillary lymph node dissection has been performed
6. Breast cancer stage: pT1-2pN0-2a M0
7. No treatment is allowed prior to surgery (no neoadjuvant chemotherapy, no neoadjuvant hormonal therapy, no pre-operative radiotherapy)
8. In cases where no adjuvant chemotherapy is given, wide local excision has been performed less than 10 weeks before the start of radiotherapy
9. In cases where adjuvant chemotherapy is given immediately after surgery, wide local excision has been performed less than 6 months before the start of radiotherapy, and chemotherapy should be completed less than 6 weeks before the start of radiotherapy
10. In cases where hormonal treatment is planned, this is given after completion of the radiotherapy
11. No previous history or synchronous malignant tumour in the other breast, previous history of malignant disease, except adequately treated carcinoma in situ of the cervix or basal cell carcinoma of the skin
12. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance scale 2 or less
Key exclusion criteria1. Residual microcalcifications on mammogram
2. All histological types of malignancies other than invasive adenocarcinoma
3. In situ carcinoma of the breast, without invasive tumour
4. Concurrent pregnancy
5. Multicentric tumours, and multifocal tumours excised using multiple excisions
6. Invasive breast cancer in both breasts
