Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • Women only
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: We aim to include all breast cancer patients treated with mastectomy in the Netherlands between 2003- 2008, and known to have experienced a local or regional recurrence or distant metastases as the first site of failure.

Who may be able to join

  • Age 18 years and more at the time of breast cancer diagnosis.
  • Proven histology of first invasive breast cancer
  • Mastectomy as a surgical procedure for breast cancer (regardless of perioperative treatment).
  • Having a local recurrence, as primary event
  • reast cancer diagnosis in the period 2003-2008.

Who cannot join

  • Non-epithelial histology.
  • Primary metastatic breast cancer.
  • Mastectomy for breast cancer recurrence after earlier breast conserving therapy.

About this study

Official title: Spatial Location of Breast Cancer Local Recurrence After Mastectomy: the Secret Study, a Retrospective Analysis.

Rationale:To improve the definition of the target volume for radiotherapy of the chestwall after different types of mastectomy, the exact localization of regions at risk for a local recurrence should be known. However, there are currently insufficient data in literature showing where local recurrences occur after different types of mastectomy.

Objective: The primary objective of the proposed study is to determine whether the spatial, location of a breast cancer recurrence after mastectomy, differs for different types of mastectomy.

Study design: Retrospective study evaluating spatial location and site of recurrences after mastectomy.

Study population: The investigators aim to include all breast cancer patients treated with mastectomy in the Netherlands between 2003- 2008, and known to have experienced a local recurrence as the first site of failure.

Primary endpoint: Spatial location of local recurrence (e.g., primary tumour bed, scar, skin, subcutaneous, nipple, areola, pectoral muscles).

However, there are currently insufficient data in literature showing where local recurrences occur after different types of mastectomy.

Objective: The primary objective of the proposed study is to determine whether the spatial, location of a breast cancer recurrence after mastectomy, differs for different types of mastectomy. Secondary objectives are to assess whether tumour characteristics (e.g., molecular subtypes, lymphangio/lymphovascular invasion) and treatment-related factors (e.g., PMRTwith or without bolus, radiation volumes, doses) influence the site of recurrence and spatial location.

Study design: Retrospective study evaluating spatial location and site of recurrences after mastectomy.

Study population: The investigators aim to include all breast cancer patients treated with mastectomy in the Netherlands between 2003- 2008, and known to have experienced a local recurrence as the first site of failure.

Primary endpoint: Primary endpoint: Spatial location of local recurrence (e.g., primary tumour bed, scar, skin, subcutaneous, nipple, areola, pectoral muscles).

Other study parameters: First descriptive statistics will be performed to investigate whether there is a relation between the localization of the recurrence and the type of mastectomy: modified radical mastectomy (MRM), skin-sparing mastectomy (SSM), nipple sparing mastectomy (NSM).

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • MastectomyProcedure or surgery

    Mastectomy as a surgical procedure for breast cancer (regardless of perioperative treatment).

What is being measured

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

  1. Spatial localisation of local recurrences

    The primary objective of the proposed study is to determine whether the spatial, location of a breast cancer recurrence after mastectomy, differs for different types of mastectomy.

    Measured: Up to 15 years after mastectomy

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Influence of tumour characteristics on the site of recurrence and spatial location.

    Anaysis to assess whether tumour characteristics (e.g., molecular subtypes, lymphangio/lymphovascular invasion) influence the site of recurrence and spatial location.

    Measured: Up to 15 years after mastectomy

  2. Influence of treatment-related factors on the site of recurrence and spatial location.

    Anaysis to assess whether treatment-related factors (e.g., PMRT with or without bolus, radiation volumes, doses) influence the site of recurrence and spatial location.

    Measured: Up to 15 years after mastectomy

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Breast Cancer, run by Maastricht Radiation Oncology at 1 site in Netherlands.

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 5 inclusion and 4 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Nov 2023. 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 Netherlands. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Spatial localisation of local recurrences (time frame: Up to 15 years after mastectomy). 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 14 Nov 2023.
