Brief Summary
This study will test the safety of partial breast RT using 27Gy in 5 daily fractions which is expected to be equally tolerated as standard whole breast irradiation (WBI) based on radiobiologic modeling of the fibrosis response of normal tissues but be more convenient and less costly than 3-6 weeks of standard WBI. 274 women will be treated. Rates of fibrosis and cosmesis at 2 years will be compared to data already collected using standard WBI in the Canadian RAPID trial.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Rate of Excellent or Good Global cosmetic score
Global cosmetic score assessed by trained observers and patients themselves using the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) Breast Cancer rating system for cosmetic assessment; rate of deterioration from Excellent/Good to Fair Poor. This will be augmented by assessment of clinical photographs prior to and at 1 and 2 years after radiation therapy (RT).

Secondary Outcomes (3)

Breast pain

Local recurrence

Study Arms (1)
Single Arm
EXPERIMENTALSingle cohort to receive Accelerated Partial Breast Irradiation (APBI) 27Gy in 5 fractions
Interventions
Patients will be treated with 3-D conformal, external beam, partial breast RT to deliver 27 Gy in 5 daily fractions using 3-5 beams on a linear accelerator. The target PTV will be the CT-visible seroma plus a 1cm margin to form the CTV (minus 5mm from skin and excluding chest wall) and a further 7mm to form the PTV. Real time review will ensure compliance with target and normal tissues dose constraints in this multi-institutional study. Any (or no) systemic therapy is permitted.
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:

- Age 50 years or older at diagnosis
- No contraindications to breast irradiation
- Excellent or Good overall cosmetic score at baseline following BCS
- Able and willing to provide written informed consent
- Available for 2 year follow up at the treating RT centre
You may not qualify if:
- Age \< 50 years at diagnosis
- BRCA 1 or 2 pathogenic mutation
- Pathologic tumor diameter \>3cm (including DCIS+invasive disease)
- Lobular histology alone
- Triple negative (ER-, PR-, HER2-) or HER2 overexpressing disease
- Margin (other than deep) \<2 mm
- Presence of both Grade 3 and lymphatic or vascular invasion
- Fair or Poor overall cosmetic score at baseline following BCS
- Presence of ipsilateral breast implants
- Inability to develop an APBI plan meeting all dosimetry constraints
- Unable to start RT within 16 weeks of BCS or 8 weeks of last iv chemotherapy
- Unable or unwilling to sign informed consent document or attend for 2-year cosmetic assessment at the treating RT centre
- Potential contraindications for breast RT including a confirmed diagnosis of lupus, scleroderma, or pregnancy

At least one peer-review publication will be prepared by the investigators following the conclusion of the study. In addition, an abstract to report interim results following the 1-year, interim cosmetic evaluation may be submitted to the annual Canadian Association of Radiation Oncology and/or San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium scientific meetings. Authorship will include the named investigators involved in the development of the grant proposal plus additional authors proportional to subject accrual, participation in the cosmetic photograph review panels and/or other contributions to study analysis or success.
