Brief Summary

RATIONALE: Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. Giving radiation therapy in different ways may kill any tumor cells that remain after surgery. It is not yet known whether who...

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • DISEASE CHARACTERISTICS:
  • Histologically confirmed ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS\*) or invasive\* adenocarcinoma of the breast
  • Stage 0, I, or II disease
  • Stage II tumors must be ≤ 3 cm
  • Gross disease must be unifocal
  • Microscopic multifocality allowed provided total pathological tumor size is ≤ 3 cm
  • No proven multicentric carcinoma in more than 1 quadrant or separated by ≥ 4 cm
  • No non-epithelial breast malignancies (e.g., sarcoma or lymphoma) NOTE: \*Patients who are 50 years of age and over with DCIS regardless of hormone receptor status AND patients with invasive breast cancer meeting all of the following criteria: ≥ 50 years of age, node-negative, and hormone-receptor positive status will not be enrolled in study after 12/30/2006
  • Prior axillary staging required for patients with invasive breast cancer, including 1 of the following:
  • Sentinel node biopsy alone (if sentinel node is negative)
  • Sentinel node biopsy followed by axillary dissection or sampling with ≥ 6 axillary nodes (if sentinel node is positive)
  • Axillary dissection alone with ≥ 6 axillary nodes
  • No more than 3 positive axillary nodes
  • No axillary nodes with definite evidence of microscopic or macroscopic extracapsular extension
  • No positive non-axillary sentinel nodes (intramammary nodes are staged as axillary nodes)
  • No palpable or radiographically suspicious ipsilateral or contralateral axillary, supraclavicular, infraclavicular, or internal mammary nodes unless there is histologic confirmation that these nodes are negative for tumor
  • Must have undergone lumpectomy
  • Resected margins histologically free of tumor
  • Re-excision of surgical margins allowed
  • Target lumpectomy cavity clearly delineated AND target lumpectomy/whole breast reference volume ≤ 30% based on postoperative pre-randomization CT scan
  • Final surgery (i.e., lumpectomy, re-excision of margins, or axillary staging procedure) within the past 42 days
  • No suspicious microcalcifications, densities, or palpable abnormalities in the ipsilateral or contralateral breast unless biopsied and found to be benign
  • No Paget's disease of the nipple
  • No history of invasive breast cancer or DCIS
  • Prior lobular carcinoma in situ treated by surgery alone allowed
  • No synchronous bilateral invasive or non-invasive breast cancer
  • Partial breast irradiation deemed technically deliverable by radiation oncologist at a credentialed facility
  • Must have undergone a history and physical exam within the past 4 months AND a bilateral mammogram within the past 6 months
  • Hormone receptor status:
  • Estrogen receptor (ER) status known
  • Progesterone status known if ER analysis is negative
  • Marginal or borderline results are considered positive

  • No prior biologic therapy for this malignancy
  • Chemotherapy
  • No prior chemotherapy for this malignancy
  • No concurrent chemotherapy during study radiotherapy
  • Endocrine therapy
  • No prior hormonal therapy for this malignancy unless total duration of hormonal therapy was no more than 28 days before randomization
  • Concurrent hormonal therapy allowed provided it is not administered during chemotherapy
  • No concurrent raloxifene, tamoxifen, or other selective estrogen receptor modulating drugs
  • No concurrent hormone replacement therapy
  • No concurrent Femring\^®
