Brief Title: Multi-Beam Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy for Node-Positive Breast Cancer
Official Title: Pilot Study of Multi-Beam Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy for Node-Positive Breast Cancer Patients Requiring Treatment of the Internal Mammary Lymph Nodes
Study ID: NCT01127373
Brief Summary: This study is being performed to understand the safety of a new radiation treatment called "Multi-Beam Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy" ( IMRT). Currently, the standard way of giving radiation is with "simplified" IMRT, which uses only 2 beams of radiation. "Multi-beam" IMRT works by using 6-12 small radiation beams to give a more "tailored" or "customized" radiation dose to the breast, chest wall, and the lymph nodes. At the same time, multi-beam IMRT may allow the dose to the heart, lungs, and nearby tissue to be lowered, especially when the internal mammary lymph nodes need to be targeted by radiation.
