Brief Summary
This study is being performed to understand the safety of a new radiation treatment called "Multi-Beam Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy" ( IMRT). Currently, the standard way of giving radiation is with "simplified" IMRT, which uses only 2 beams of radiation. "Multi-beam" IMRT works by using 6-12 small radiation beams to give a more "tailored" or "customized" radiation dose to the breast, chest wall, and the lymph nodes. At the same time, multi-beam IMRT may allow the dose to the heart, lungs, and nearby tissue to be lowered, especially when the internal mammary lymph nodes need to be targeted by radiation.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Count of Participants Receiving Adjuvant Radiation Therapy Via Multi-beam IMRT Using Daily 3D Position Verification
The purpose of this pilot study is to assess the feasibility of utilizing multi-beam IMRT in the adjuvant treatment of the breast and regional lymph nodes of women with node-positive breast cancer requiring coverage of the internal mammary lymph nodes. A feasibility rate of at least 90% is required, ie, treatment can be successfully planned and delivered for at least 90% of the patients.

Study Arms (1)
radiation therapy via multi-beam IMRT
EXPERIMENTALThis is a single-arm feasibility study of multi-beam IMRT with daily set-up verification in the treatment of women with node-positive breast cancer who will receive radiation to the breast/chest wall and regional lymph nodes, including the internal mammary lymph nodes.
Interventions
IMRT with multiple beams will be utilized to treat the breast or chest wall and axillary, supraclavicular and internal mammary lymph nodes. Treatment will be delivered once a day, 5 days a week for approximately 5 weeks. All missed radiation treatment visits will be made up. Daily set-up error will be checked prior to the delivery of every treatment.
MSKCC Department of Surgery. For patients who received a mastectomy with or without reconstruction, the questionnaire will be administered at baseline and 5-7 months after treatment.
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Female gender
- Age ≥18 years
- An invasive primary breast cancer of any histology arising from breast parenchyma
- Patient must be status post mastectomy or partial mastectomy with an assessment of axillary nodes via sentinel lymph node biopsy and/or axillary lymph node dissection
- Pathologic confirmation of metastatic disease in at least one regional lymph node. Regional lymph nodes are defined as the ipsilateral axillary lymph nodes, ipsilateral supraclavicular lymph nodes, and ipsilateral internal mammary lymph nodes. Thus, any T stage is allowed as long as the N stage is ≥1 and M stage is 0.
- Patient signed study-specific consent form.
You may not qualify if:
- Patients with distant metastasis.
- Patients who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
- Patients with psychiatric or addictive disorders that would preclude obtaining informed consent.
- Time between initial diagnosis of breast cancer and start of radiation therapy exceeds 13 months.
- Estimated life expectancy judged to be less than one year by patient's treating radiation oncologist.
- Prior radiation therapy to the ipsilateral or contralateral breast or thorax.
- Primary breast cancer is a lymphoma or sarcoma histology.
- Patients with a history of non-skin malignancy \<5 years prior to the diagnosis of breast cancer.
- Patients requiring radiation to the bilateral breasts.
