Single Fraction High-Gradient Partial Breast Irradiation in Treating Patients With Low-Risk Stage 0-I Breast Cancer

This is a phase I/II study which will evaluate the complication rates, local control, cosmetic results, and quality of life of single fraction high gradient partial breast irradiation (HG-PBI) when used as the sole method of radiation therapy for patients with pathologic stage 0 (=< 2 cm) or I carcinoma of the breast treated with partial mastectomy with histologically assessed negative surgical margins.

Evaluation of Single Fraction High-Gradient Partial Breast Irradiation as the Sole Method of Radiation Therapy for Low-Risk Stage 0 and I Breast Carcinoma

This phase I/II clinical trial studies the side effects of delivering radiation therapy in a single session instead of multiple treatments over several weeks and to see how well it works in treating patients with low-risk stage 0-I breast cancer. Partial-breast irradiation, a type of radiation therapy focused only to the part of the breast that has cancer in it, given at a lower dose than standard whole-breast radiation therapy. Single fraction high-gradient partial-breast irradiation may cause fewer side effects, help prevent breast cancer from coming back, and improve the appearance of the breast and quality of life of patients with breast cancer.
