Brief Title: An Integrated Optimization of Surgery and Radiotherapy Techniques to Improve Cosmetic Outcome and Quality of Life in Breast Conserving Therapy for Breast Cancer Patients (STARLINGS Study)
Official Title: An Integrated Optimization of Surgery and Radiotherapy Techniques to Improve Cosmetic Outcome and Quality of Life in Breast Conserving Therapy for Breast Cancer Patients.
Study ID: NCT05263362
Brief Summary: To assess the role of different combinations of (oncoplastic) surgery and radiotherapy techniques as risk factors for moderate to severe fibrosis and for moderate to poor cosmetic outcome.
Detailed Description: The primary objectives of this study are to assess the role of different combinations of (oncoplastic) surgery and radiotherapy techniques as risk factors for moderate to severe fibrosis and for moderate to poor cosmetic outcome. Based on these insights predictive models for the development of moderate to severe fibrosis and moderate to poor cosmetic outcome will be developed. Second, the relation between the presence and severity of fibrosis, cosmetic outcome and different QoL domains and symptoms will be assessed.
