Study Summary

This phase II trial studies how well accelerated partial breast irradiation (APBI) using high-dose rate (HDR) brachytherapy works in treating patients with breast cancer that has not spread beyond the breast or the axillary lymph nodes (early-stage) after surgery. Radiation therapy uses a type of energy to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. Brachytherapy is a type of internal radiation therapy that provides radiation inside the breast to any remaining tumor cells next to the space where the tumor was removed, and is given over a shorter amount of time than standard radiation therapy. Giving accelerated partial breast irradiation (APBI) using high-dose rate (HDR) brachytherapy may reduce the overall time that radiation is delivered to the tumor cells.

Primary Outcome

Measured by the data collected for toxicity and cosmesis as dichotomous variables. This will be assessed by physical examination at each follow-up visit. To be scored as a serious toxicity counting toward the primary endpoint, the toxicity must have a "probable" or "definite" attribution to the study treatment.
