Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 2639 0
Feasibility rate of APBI using 3D conformal radiation therapy - Proportion of eligible patients treated without a major protocol deviation.
Major Deviations:
a. Overall treatment time is more than 10 days
b. Maximum dose (in a volume of = 2 cm3) to PTV_EVAL is more than 110% of the
prescribed dose
c. 90% of the prescribed dose covers less than 90% of the PTV_EVAL on DVH
d. 85% of the prescribed dose covers less than 99% of the PTV_EVAL
e. Maximum dose to critical normal structures is more than 105% of the specified values.
Timepoint [1] 2639 0
Measured over the whole duration of the study. The outcome is determined at the end of the study which is until all patients have been treated with APBI (from the data coollected over the whole duration of the study).
Secondary outcome [1] 4481 0
Radiation toxicity - The National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria version 3.0 will be used for serious adverse event and toxicity reporting.
Timepoint [1] 4481 0
Will be measured at Last day of RT & 6 weeks post RT, 3 and 6 months post RT, then on a yearly basis until 10 years post RT.
Secondary outcome [2] 4482 0
Cosmetic outcome - Cosmetic outcome will be assessed using the following instruments: European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Cosmetic Rating System and Quantitative assessment of breast cosmesis.
Timepoint [2] 4482 0
Will be measured at 1 year, 2 years, 3 years and 5 years post Radiotherapy (RT).
Secondary outcome [3] 4483 0
Quality of life.
Timepoint [3] 4483 0
Will be measured at Last day of RT & 6 weeks post RT, 3 and 6 months post RT, then on a yearly basis until death.
Secondary outcome [4] 4484 0
Time to ipsilateral breast recurrence - The time from start of APBI to the time of invasive or intraductal recurrence in any soft tissue of the ipsilateral breast.
Timepoint [4] 4484 0
Will be measured at Last day of RT & 6 weeks post RT, 3 and 6 months post RT, then on a yearly basis until 10 years post RT.
Secondary outcome [5] 4485 0
Disease free survival - The time from start of APBI to recurrence of any form.
Timepoint [5] 4485 0
Will be measured at Last day of RT & 6 weeks post RT, 3 and 6 months post RT, then on a yearly basis until 10 years post RT.
Secondary outcome [6] 4486 0
Overall survival - The time from start of APBI to the time of death from any cause.
Timepoint [6] 4486 0
Will be measured at Last day of RT & 6 weeks post RT, 3 and 6 months post RT, then on a yearly basis until 10 years post RT.

Eligibility
