Partial Breast Re-Irradiation for Patients With Ipsilateral Breast Tumor Recurrence, After First Being Treated With Breast Conservation for Early Stage Breast Cancer: An Efficacy Trial Comparing Mammosite® and Intraoperative Radiation
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating intracavitary balloon brachytherapy and intraoperative radiation therapy for Breast Cancer. Completed, enrolled 13 participants across 3 sites.
Detailed Summary
RATIONALE: Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays and other types of radiation to kill tumor cells. It is not yet known whether a single dose of radiation therapy is more effective than implant radiation therapy for 5 days in treating patients with recurrent breast cancer. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying implant radiation therapy to see how well it works compared with radiation therapy during surgery in treating patients with recurrent breast cancer.
