Secret: Spatial Location of Breast Cancer Local Recurrence After Mastectomy
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Rationale:To improve the definition of the target volume for radiotherapy of the chestwall after different types of mastectomy, the exact localization of regions at risk for a local recurrence should be known. However, there are currently insufficient data in literature showing where local recurrences occur after different types of mastectomy.
Objective: The primary objective of the proposed study is to determine whether the spatial, location of a breast cancer recurrence after mastectomy, differs for different types of mastectomy.
Study design: Retrospective study evaluating spatial location and site of recurrences after mastectomy.
Study population: The investigators aim to include all breast cancer patients treated with mastectomy in the Netherlands between 2003- 2008, and known to have experienced a local recurrence as the first site of failure.
Primary endpoint: Spatial location of local recurrence (e.g., primary tumour bed, scar, skin, subcutaneous, nipple, areola, pectoral muscles).

Detailed Description
Rationale:To improve the definition of the target volume for radiotherapy of the chestwall after different types of mastectomy, the exact localization of regions at risk for a local recurrence should be known. However, there are currently insufficient data in literature showing where local recurrences occur after different types of mastectomy.
Objective: The primary objective of the proposed study is to determine whether the spatial, location of a breast cancer recurrence after mastectomy, differs for different types of mastectomy. Secondary objectives are to assess whether tumour characteristics (e.g., molecular subtypes, lymphangio/lymphovascular invasion) and treatment-related factors (e.g., PMRTwith or without bolus, radiation volumes, doses) influence the site of recurrence and spatial location.
Study design: Retrospective study evaluating spatial location and site of recurrences after mastectomy.
Study population: The investigators aim to include all breast cancer patients treated with mastectomy in the Netherlands between 2003- 2008, and known to have experienced a local recurrence as the first site of failure.
Primary endpoint: Primary endpoint: Spatial location of local recurrence (e.g., primary tumour bed, scar, skin, subcutaneous, nipple, areola, pectoral muscles).
Other study parameters: First descriptive statistics will be performed to investigate whether there is a relation between the localization of the recurrence and the type of mastectomy: modified radical mastectomy (MRM), skin-sparing mastectomy (SSM), nipple sparing mastectomy (NSM).

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Spatial localisation of local recurrences [Up to 15 years after mastectomy]
The primary objective of the proposed study is to determine whether the spatial, location of a breast cancer recurrence after mastectomy, differs for different types of mastectomy.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Influence of tumour characteristics on the site of recurrence and spatial location. [Up to 15 years after mastectomy]
Anaysis to assess whether tumour characteristics (e.g., molecular subtypes, lymphangio/lymphovascular invasion) influence the site of recurrence and spatial location.
- Influence of treatment-related factors on the site of recurrence and spatial location. [Up to 15 years after mastectomy]
Anaysis to assess whether treatment-related factors (e.g., PMRT with or without bolus, radiation volumes, doses) influence the site of recurrence and spatial location.
