ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
A novel approach using single-fraction preoperative partial breast irradiation (PBI) for low-risk breast cancer is under study. We sought to investigate the rate of pathologic response (pR), toxicities and cosmetic results related to this new treatment strategy.METHODS:
Women of 65 years or older with stage I unifocal luminal A breast cancer were eligible for inclusion in this phase I prospective trial. Patients received a single 20 Gy dose of PBI followed by breast-conserving surgery (BCS) 3 months later. The primary endpoint was the pR rate, and the secondary endpoints were radiation therapy-related toxicity and cosmetic results.RESULTS:
Thirteen patients were treated, with a median age of 71. Eleven patients (84.6 %) had pR with a median residual cellularity of 1 % (range 0-10 %). At median follow-up of 48.5 months, no recurrences or cancer-related deaths were recorded. Acute radiation therapy-related toxicity were limited to grade 1 dermatitis and breast pain. At the 1-year follow-up, there were one grade 2 fat necrosis and two grade 3 toxicities (wound infection and hematoma). Only grade 1 toxicities remained at 2 years, but one grade 2 toxicity (fibrosis/induration) developed by the 3-year follow-up. Three-year patient-reported cosmetic outcomes were good or excellent in 60 % of patients.CONCLUSIONS:
Single-fraction preoperative PBI preceding BCS for low-risk breast cancer is feasible, relatively well tolerated and leads to a high level of pR. The 3-month interval after PBI seems to place surgery in a post-radiation inflammatory phase. Further delay between PBI and surgery could improve pR and cosmetic outcome. NCT03917498.
