Post-operative Locoregional Irradiation Using Helical Tomotherapy IMRT in the Management of Stage IIb-III Breast Cancer: a Feasibility Study
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Helical tomotherapy IMRT for Breast Cancer. Completed, enrolled 30 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Research has shown that treatment with conventional radiation techniques and chemotherapy following mastectomy or breast conserving surgery has resulted in better rates of locoregional control and overall survival in stage IIB-III breast cancer. The current feasibility trial using the most recent advance in radiation therapy, namely helical tomotherapy intensity modulated radiation therapy (HT-IMRT), hopes to improve on the results of conventional radiation by decreasing the amount of radiation-induced toxicity in patients with stage IIb-III breast cancer.
