Brief Title: Accelerated Partial Breast Irradiation Versus Standard or Hypofractionated Whole-Breast Irradiation, in Early Breast Cancer, After Breast-conserving Surgery
Official Title: Clinical Trial, Randomized, Open Label, With an Active Comparator to Assess the Efficacy and Safety of Using Accelerated Partial Irradiation Versus Standard or Hypofractionated Irradiation of the Entire Breast in Patients With Initial Breast Cancer After Conservative Surgery
Study ID: NCT04669873
Brief Summary: Radiotherapy has been confirmed as an important treatment breast-conserving surgery reducing the risk of any recurrence of breast cancer and breast cancer-related mortality in patients with early breast cancer. There are no comparative data on the ideal radiotherapy treatment regimen for patients with early stage breast cancer who underwent conservative surgery in the Brazilian population.
Detailed Description: The investigators propose a prospective, randomized, pilot study, with active control, to evaluate the viability and safety of accelerated partial breast irradiation, in 5 fractions, comparing with the radiotherapy regimens of the whole breast in 15 and 5 fractions, in patients with breast cancer, in initial stage, who underwent conservative surgery.
