Clinical Trial: Accelerated Partial Breast Irradiation Using External Beam Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy (VMAT): a Randomised Non-inferiority Trial of 30 Gy Versus 26 Gy in Five Fractions Investigating Patient-reported Outcomes

U.S., April 4 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT06909032) titled 'Accelerated Partial Breast Irradiation Using External Beam Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy (VMAT): a Randomised Non-inferiority Trial of 30 Gy Versus 26 Gy in Five Fractions Investigating Patient-reported Outcomes' on March 27.

Brief Summary: For women undergoing radiotherapy following surgery for early-stage breast cancer, breast-related quality of life (BrQoL) is an important consideration. Treating only the part of the breast by radiation where the cancer has been surgically removed (partial breast irradiation or "PBI") rather than the whole breast (whole breast irradiation) can reduce the toxic effects of radiotherapy. This tri...
