Personalized radiotherapy for breast cancer based on individual sensitivity

Official title: Establishment of a Prospective Evaluation of Daily Practice Including the Individual Radiosensitivity Test to the Decision of Daily Practice

Run by Institut du Cancer de Montpellier - Val d'Aurelle · NCT04282122 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This study is testing a personalized approach to radiotherapy for breast cancer patients to see if it can reduce side effects while still being effective, especially for those with a lower risk of recurrence.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates for this study are women aged 65 and older with luminal A breast cancer who have undergone conservative surgery and are eligible for whole breast irradiation.

Probably not a fit

Patients with distant metastases, those requiring node irradiation, or those who have undergone radical mastectomy will not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies

This observational study aims to create a clinical database that assesses the safety and effectiveness of personalized adjuvant radiotherapy for breast cancer patients, focusing on individual radiosensitivity. It utilizes a rapid radiosensitivity assay to evaluate the risk of toxicity from radiotherapy, particularly in patients with luminal A tumors who may have a low risk of recurrence. The study combines biological and clinical parameters to improve the prediction of adverse effects from treatment, potentially leading to tailored radiotherapy approaches that minimize harm while maintaining efficacy.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could significantly reduce the risk of toxicities associated with radiotherapy, improving the quality of life for breast cancer patients.

How similar studies have gone: Previous studies have validated the radiosensitivity test used in this study, indicating a promising approach to personalized radiotherapy.

2. Conservative breast cancer surgery.
3. T1-T2; N sentinel negative/N0.
4. Luminal A tumors.
5. Tumor negative margins.
6. Indication of whole breast irradiation only.
7. Extension evaluation of disease will be proven negative (M0).
8. Must be geographically accessible for follow-up.
