Official title
Prospective Comparative Study of Response-Adapted De-escalation of Regional Nodal Irradiation in Initially Node Positive Breast Cancer Patients With Pathological Nodal Complete Response After Neoadjuvant Therapy
Overview
Prospective Comparative Study of Response-Adapted De-escalation of Regional Nodal Irradiation in Initially Node Positive Breast Cancer Patients with Pathological Nodal Complete Response After Neoadjuvant Therapy
Detailed description
This prospective, randomized comparative study aims to evaluate the clinical outcomes and safety of response-adapted de-escalation of Regional Nodal Irradiation (RNI) in initially node-positive (cN1) breast cancer patients who achieved a pathological nodal complete response (pCR) following neoadjuvant systemic therapy. Patients will be randomized into two arms: Arm A (Experimental Arm) which omits regional nodal irradiation, and Arm B (Control Arm) which receives standard regional nodal irradiation.
Interventions
- Radiation Adjuvant Radiotherapy
Adjuvant radiation therapy will be delivered using Three-Dimensional Conformal Radiotherapy (3DCRT) or Intensity-Modulated Radiotherapy (IMRT). Standard institutional contouring and dosing protocols will be applied to the target volumes (whole breast or chest wall, with or without regional nodal regions) based on the randomized arm assignment.
Primary outcome measures
- Locoregional Recurrence (LRR) Rate [Time frame: 3 years]
Secondary outcome measures (3)
- Invasive Disease-Free Survival (iDFS) [Time frame: 5 years]
- Radiation Toxicity [Time frame: From start of radiotherapy up to 1 year post-treatment]
- Overall Survival (OS) [Time frame: 5 years]
