Official title
Registry for Analysis of Impact of Radiation Dose to Skin on Cosmetic Outcome and Patient-reported Outcomes in Patients With Breast Cancer Treated With Radiation Therapy
Overview
The goal of this observational study is to learn about toxicities and cosmetic outcomes in breast cancer patients treated with hypofractionated radiotherapy. The main question it aims to answer are: * Changes in breast skin * Factors related to breast skin changes * Patient-reported outcomes * Cosmetic outcomes Participants will be assessed by multi-dimensional methods before and after radiotherapy: * Photographs * Fibrometer * Questionnaires (BREAST-Q) * CTCAE version 4.03 evaluated by treating physicians
Interventions
- Radiation Hypofractionated radiation therapy
Both 3-week and 1-week hypofractioanted radiation therapy are allowed. (simultaneous or sequential tumor bed boost is allowed.) A 3-week regimen includes 42.4 Gy in 16 fractions. A 1-week regimen includes 26 Gy in 5 fractions or 28.5 Gy in 3 fractions, 30 Gy in 5 fractions.
Primary outcome measures
- Change of cosmesis from baseline [Time frame: After 2-3 weeks after the start of radiation therapy (During radiation therapy)]
- Change of cosmesis from baseline [Time frame: 2-3 weeks after the completion of radiation therapy]
- Change of cosmesis from baseline [Time frame: 6 months after radiation therapy]
- Change of cosmesis from baseline [Time frame: 1 year after radiation therapy]
- Change of cosmesis from baseline [Time frame: 2 year after radiation therapy]
- Change of cosmesis from baseline [Time frame: 5 year after radiation therapy]
- Change of fibrosis from baseline [Time frame: After 2-3 weeks after the start of radiation therapy (During radiation therapy)]
- Change of fibrosis from baseline [Time frame: 2-3 weeks after the completion of radiation therapy]
- Change of fibrosis from baseline [Time frame: 6 months after radiation therapy]
- Change of fibrosis from baseline [Time frame: 1 year after radiation therapy]
