Brief Summary

Irradiation and Accelerated Partial Breast (IPAS) to this day remains a therapeutic concept whose validity is being assessed on its non-inferiority in terms of local control compared to whole breast irradiation. At least eight phase III trials attempting to answer this question and thus provide a sufficient level of evidence to make this concept a new standard of care for sub-groups of patients well defined (1). However, without waiting for the final results of these randomized trials (which will not be fully valid with a drop of at least ten years), the American societies (ASTRO) and European (ESTRO) radiotherapy have all two proposed classification (very similar) into 3 groups according to the risk to the patient in terms of local recurrence after IPAS. And are defined by the ESTRO:

  • The low-risk group ("suitable" for ASTRO)
  • The intermediate-risk group ("cautionary" in ASTRO)
  • The high-risk group ("not suitable" for ASTRO) (2.3). Therefore, it is possible to propose to a patient a randomized clinical tria IPAS, to subject it belongs to the group "low risk." The results of phase II trials as a long-term analysis of the matched team of William Beaumont Hospital (4) and the phase III trial using intra-operative radiation photons in low energy X whose results were recently published (5) confirm the value of this new therapeutic concept for post-operative breast cancer at low risk of local recurrence. In France, the therapists were quickly directed to a sub-population for which the IPAS could represent a real improvement in the therapeutic management in significantly reducing the number of irradiation sessions of thirty in 6 weeks 5 days at 10 in a single view (6). Several French phase II trials were started specifically targeting the female population aged using a balloon catheter (MammoSite ®) (7) or by intra-operative radiation électronthérapie (8). The results of the test using the GERICO-03 brachytherapy with high dose rate (promoter: FNCLCC, National Federation of Anti Cancer Centres , recently merged into Group Health Cooperation entitled UNICANCER) are currently submitted to Journal Green Radiotherapy (Radiotherapy and Oncology from 09/11/11) (9). On a technical level, two main approaches are used (10):
  • Irradiation intraoperative electron or low-energy photons,
  • Radiation after surgery The advantage of intraoperative irradiation is the optimal reduction of total processing time radio-surgery because the patient is irradiated during the lumpectomy. However, 15-20% of these patients receive partial breast irradiation, as histo-prognostic criteria provided in the histologically final report, confirm the non-adapted indication of IPAS (5). In contrast, the post-operative IPAS can treat only patients meeting all criteria for IPAS but treatment-related travel are about 5 treatments for bi-fractionated (2 sessions per days separated by at least 6 hours).

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Rate of Acute Toxicity Within 180 Days of IPAS Mono Split Postoperatively in Patients Aged at Least of 70 Years With Breast Cancer at Low Risk of Local Recurrence (Low Risk Group of ESTRO IPAS Classification ESTRO)

    Rate of acute toxicity evaluated by a clinical examination, in consultation with the radiotherapist to 30, 90 days and 180 days. Common Toxicity Criteria classification for Adverse Events (CTCAE) in its fourth version is used.

    180 days

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Evaluation of the Quality of Life

    180 days

Study Arms (1)

IPAS

EXPERIMENTAL

Once the patient recorded in the trial, and after completion of a post-implant dosimetry scanner to analyze the dose distribution within the target volume and organs at risk, the patient is treated by irradiation and partial accelerated breast brachytherapy using high dose rate, delivering a total dose of 16 Gy in one fraction
