Abstract

To assess the impact of the boost dose in patients with involved surgical margins. In the EORTC "boost versus no boost" trial, 251 patients with a microscopically incomplete tumour excision were randomised to receive either a low boost dose of 10 Gy (126 patients) or a high boost dose of 26 Gy (125 patients). Overall survival and the cumulative incidence of local recurrence as first event were compared by Logrank and Gray test, respectively (2-sided alpha=0.05), with a median follow-up of 11.3 years. The planned sample size was 660 patients, but only 251 were recruited. The median age at randomisation was 54 years. Thirty-seven patient initially relapsed locally. At 10 years, the cumulative incidence of local recurrence was 17.5% (95% CI: 10.4-24.6%) versus 10.8% (95% CI: 5.2-16.4%) for the low and high boost dose groups, respectively (HR=0.83, 95% CI: 0.43-1.57, Gray p>0.1). Overall, 64 patients have died (25.5%), 47 of them of breast cancer, without a difference in duration of survival between the two groups (HR=0.97, 95% CI=0.59-1.5, p>0.1). Severe fibrosis was palpated in the breast in 1% versus 5% and in the boost area in 3% versus 13% in the low and high boost dose groups, respectively. There was no statistically signific...Continue Reading
