About this study

Official title: Prospective Observational Study for Local Radiotherapy in Breast Cancer Patients Receiving Nipple Sparing Mastectomy With Breast Reconstruction

The prospective observational study of radiation therapy is conducted on the nipple-areola complex(close resection margin at primary tumor site) or regional lymph nodes(including axilla and supraclavicular lymph node) with a high risk of local recurrence in nipple-sparing mastectomy with reconstruction, we're going to analysis the effects of radiation therapy and cosmetic effects.

By evaluating survival rate, recurrence pattern(local lymph node and metastasis to the whole body), side effects, cosmetic effects, from the patients who have gone through Nipple Sparing Mastectomy with reconstruction.

Read the detailed description

For the last 20years, Breast Conservation Surgery and postoperative radiotherapy were the well established standard treatment, proven by various clinical trial studies, About 20-50% of breast cancer patients with large tumors, small breasts, or multiple tumors were still considered for Radical mastectomy.

In this case, Nipple Areola Complex (NAC) removal, significantly increases the amputation sensation of the patient and reduces breast contour, cosmetic satisfaction, physical balance, and psychological burden.

For this reason, recently, Nipple Sparing Mastectomy with reconstruction, which does not reduce treatment effect and maintain breast contour function is more considered.

It is reported that from Radical mastectomy specimens, possible tumor cell invasion in Nipple-Areola Complex is about 20%(0-58%).

local recurrence of breast cancer patient for nipple sparing mastectomy is reported to be about 0-28.4%.

Also, while operating a conserved Nipple Areola Complex (NAC) specimen, the false-negative rate of frozen section examination is 1.5-9.3%.

Therefore, due to the limitations of these pathological examinations, the possibility of residual tumor cells in the Nipple-Areola Complex cannot be excluded because that is unidentified and preserved in the tumor cell of the surgical specimen.

Since radiotherapy has been proven to help reduce local recurrence and improve survival rate as postoperative adjuvant treatment in patients who have undergone Breast-Conserving Surgery, a study in Nipple-Sparing Mastectomy also has been conducted to reduce local recurrence.

Benediksson's research team have reported, radiotherapy reduced the local recurrence rate in patients who had undergone Nipple-Sparing Mastectomy with reconstruction.

Petit's research team reported, the local recurrence rate is 1.7% and there was no recurrence near Nipple-Areola Complex in patients who received Nipple-Sparing Mastectomy.

Among the 486 patients who have undergone Nipple-Sparing Mastectomy with reconstruction from January 2012 to December 2017 in National Cancer Center in Korea, the local recurrence rate is 8.2%, 5% of the nipple-areola complex, 2.2% of axillary lymph node, 0.9% of the chest wall. And most of the local recurrence sites were nipple-areola complex and axillary lymph node.

Despite reducing recurrence rate, as an influencing factor to postoperative complications and cosmetics, radiotherapy has a risk of side effects from the Nipple-Sparing Mastectomy with reconstruction-operated patients.

Therefore, by conducting a prospective observational study of radiation therapy to the nipple-areola complex(close resection margin at primary tumor site) or regional lymph nodes(including axilla and supraclavicular lymph node) with a high risk of local recurrence in nipple-sparing mastectomy with reconstruction, we're going to analysis the effects of radiation therapy and cosmetic effects.

By evaluating survival rate, recurrence pattern(local lymph node and metastasis to the whole body), side effects, cosmetic effects, from the patients who have gone through Nipple Sparing Mastectomy with reconstruction.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. freedom from local and regioanl recurrence rate : FFLRR rate

    evaluate the freedom from local and regioanl recurrence rate in nipple-areola complex(close resection margin at primary tumor site) or regional lymph nodes(including axilla and supraclavicular lymph node)

    Measured: up to 5 years

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. relapse-free or overall survivor : RFS and OS

    evaluate the Relapse-free or overall survivor in nipple-areola complex(close resection margin at primary tumor site) or regional lymph nodes(including axilla and supraclavicular lymph node)

    Measured: up to 5 years

  2. toxicity and contraction of the implant, quality of life

    evaluate the toxicity about breast site, implant surgical complication and contraction, hematopoietic.

    The quality of life is evaluated with the questionnaire filled out by the study subjects.

    Measured: up to 5 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Breast Cancer, run by National Cancer Center, Korea at 1 site in South Korea.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 10 inclusion and 9 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: enrolling by invitation, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Jan 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in South Korea. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

freedom from local and regioanl recurrence rate : FFLRR rate (time frame: up to 5 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 28 Jan 2022.
