A Dose Escalation Study of Proton and Carbon Ion Irradiation for HER2 Positive and Triple Negative Breast Cancer
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Adjuvant radiotherapy is the standard treatment for early breast cancer after breast conserving surgery. Molecular subtypes was significantly associated with the risk of local recurrence of breast cancer. Nguyen et al found that the overall 5-year cumulative incidence of local recurrence was 0.8% for luminal A, 1.5% for luminal B, 8.4% for HER2 positive, and 7.1% for triple negative breast cancer after lumpectomy and radiotherapy. Her2 positive and triple negative breast cancers may be inherently radioresistant.
Therefore, for HER2 positive and triple negative breast cancer with high local recurrence and radiation resistance, proton combined with carbon ion is proposed after breast conserving surgery.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Acute toxicity [3 months after the completion of CIRT]
Treatment related acute toxicity assessed by CTCAE v4.03
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Local regional recurrence [within 5 years after radiotherapy.]
The Ipsilateral breast and regional lymph nodes recurrence
- Cosmetic outcome as measured by Breast Cancer Treatment Outcomes Scale [within 5 years after radiotherapy.]
Cosmetic outcome will be evaluated by Breast Cancer Treatment Outcomes Scale filled out by patients.
- Cosmetic outcome as measured by BCCT.core software [within 5 years after radiotherapy.]
Patients' photographs of the breasts will be taken. With the use of BCCT.core software from The Breast Research group (INESC TEC) cosmetic outcome will be assessed.
