      **Cosmesis subset is closed to accrual for ALL newly enrolled patients**

      **Regarding the strat factor for chemotherapy, answer "yes" for patients who have received chemotherapy previously and "no" for patients who have not received chemotherapy yet.  The registration worksheet is confusing, as it asks if the patient is "intending to receive chemotherapy", but this should be ignored. (Per RTOG, an amendment is coming out to remove this language)**

      **See Section 5.0 for registration and credentialing information**

      ","","2\u0001 0 \u0001 0 \u0001 \u0001 Oncology \u0001 OBJECTIVES:

      Primary

      •To determine whether an accelerated course of hypofractionated whole-breast irradiation (WBI) including a concomitant boost to the tumor bed in 15 fractions following lumpectomy will prove to be non-inferior in local control to a regimen of standard WBI with a sequential boost following lumpectomy for early-stage breast cancer patients.

      Secondary

      •To determine whether breast-related symptoms and cosmesis from accelerated WBI that is hypofractionated (in only 3 weeks) with a concomitant boost is non-inferior to standard WBI with sequential boost.

      •To determine whether the risk of late cardiac toxicity in patients with left-sided breast cancer treated with hypofractionation will be non-inferior to conventional fractionated radiation therapy (RT) based upon analysis of radiation dosimetry from CT-based treatment planning and NTCP calculations.

      •To determine whether CT-based conformal methods intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3D-CRT) for WBI are feasible in a multi-institutional setting following lumpectomy in early-stage breast cancer patients and whether dose-volume analyses can be established to assess treatment adequacy and likelihood of toxicity.

      •To determine that cosmetic results and breast-related symptoms 3 years after hypofractionated breast radiation with concomitant boost will not be inferior to that obtained 3 years after WBI with sequential boost.

      •To determine whether future correlative studies can identify individual gene expressions and biological host factors associated with toxicity and/or local recurrence from standard and hypofractionated WBI.

      •If shown to be non-inferior, to then determine if accelerated course of hypofractionated WBI including a concomitant boost to the tumor bed in 15 fractions following lumpectomy will prove to be superior in local control to a regimen of standard WBI with a sequential boost following lumpectomy for early-stage breast cancer patients.

      •To determine whether treatment costs for hypofractionated WBI with concomitant boost are not higher than WBI with sequential boost.

      OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to age (< 50 vs ? 50 years), prior chemotherapy (yes vs no), estrogen-receptor status (+ vs -), and histology grade (1-2 vs 3). Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms. Treatment begins within 9 weeks of last surgery or chemotherapy delivery.
