Trial Identification

Brief Title: Intraoperative Radiotherapy for Early Stage Breast Cancer

Official Title: Intraoperative Radiotherapy (IORT) for the Management of Carcinoma of the Breast: Use of Mammography, Ultrasonography,and Contrast-Enhanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging (CE-MRI) to Identify Candidates for IORT

Study ID: NCT01189851

Conditions

Breast Cancer

Interventions

Intraoperative Radiotherapy

Study Description

Brief Summary: Up to 200 patients with biopsy proven early stage breast cancer selecting Wide Local Excision (WLE) will undergo mammography, ultrasound (of affected breast and ipsilateral axilla) and contrast enhanced-magnetic resonance imaging (CE-MRI) of the affected breast to evaluate the extent of disease.

Detailed Description: Patients will be deemed eligible for immediate IORT if the invasive cancer lesion is estimated to measure ≤ 3.0 centimeters maximum dimension by mammogram, ultrasound, and CE-MRI and is thought to be resectable with WLE and clear surgical margins, with clinically staged N0M0 disease, minimum age of 48, and histology of invasive ductal or lobular carcinoma of the breast. The lesion size determined by imaging will be compared with lesion size and surgical margin status obtained from the surgical pathology specimen to evaluate the ability of mammography combined with ultrasound and CE-MRI to identify suitable candidates for immediate IORT.
