Cytokine Expression During Radiation for Breast Cancer
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Radiation therapy for Breast Cancer. Completed, enrolled 82 participants across 2 sites.
Detailed Summary
To assess the magnitude and frequency of changes in chemo/cytokine expression in women receiving radiation treatment. To asses the impact of race/ethnicity on the magnitude and frequency of changes in chemo/cytokine expression during radiation therapy for breast cancer. And finally to assess the interaction between radiation-induced chemo/cytokine expression changes, and race/ethnicity, with respect to normal tissue reactions to radiation and tumor-associated outcomes.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
Patients will receive whole breast radiation therapy at a dose of 180-200 centigray (cGy) per fraction for 23-27 fractions to a total dose of 4600 - 4860 cGy. Additional radiation to the lumpectomy bed (Boost) is at the discretion of the treating physician. The total dose to the tumor bed cannot exceed 6600 cGy.
