Who this trial is looking for
This trial is looking for women who are 40 years or older and have specific types of breast cancer that haven’t spread beyond a certain point. They should be interested in options that don’t involve surgery or traditional radiation. However, if you've had previous treatments for other cancers or certain conditions related to your breast cancer, you may not qualify.
Think this trial could be right for you?
Answer a few quick questions to see if you may meet the eligibility requirements.
This clinical trial studies eliminating surgery and/or radiation therapy in treating breast cancer patients. In HER2 positive and triple negative breast cancers, after systemic therapy, when image-guided biopsy shows no residual cancer, patients then receive standard breast radiotherapy with no surgery. In ER positive/HER2 negative breast cancers, after endocrine therapy and ablative radiotherapy,…
This clinical trial studies eliminating surgery and/or radiation therapy in treating breast cancer patients. In HER2 positive and triple negative breast cancers, after systemic therapy, when image-guided biopsy shows no residual cancer, patients then receive standard breast radiotherapy with no surgery. In ER positive/HER2 negative breast cancers, after endocrine therapy and ablative radiotherapy, when image-guided biopsy shows no residual cancer, patients then receive standard endocrine therapy with no surgery. For patients who have HER2 positive and triple negative breast cancers and standard surgery, after systemic therapy, breast radiotherapy is being eliminated when the pathology from surgery shows no residual cancer.

Inclusion Criteria:
* Cohort A1 and A2
• Conditions for patient eligibility: Patients on this portion of the study can receive radiation treatment at any MD Anderson Cancer Center or any outside hospital and may be enrolled prior to, during, or following neoadjuvant systemic therapy provided they meet the following eligibility and ineligibility requirements noted below:
1. Pathologically confirmed unicentric invasive breast cancer defined as radiologic clinical stage T1 or T2 (≤ 5 cm), N0 or N1 (≤ 4 abnormal axillary nodes on initial ultrasound), clinical stage M0.
2. HER2 positive (IHC 3+ and or FISH amplified) or triple receptor negative (TN, ER/PR\< 10% HER2 negative (IHC 1+ or 2+ FISH non-amplified) receiving any standard routine clinical NST regimen.
3. Patient desires breast conserving therapy.
4. Age 40 years or older. This age cutoff is justified because breast cancers in women under the age of 40 are known to have a significantly higher risk of IBTR presumably due to underlying biologic differences \[124, 125\].
5. Female sex.
6. If the patient has a history of a prior non-breast cancer, all treatment for this cancer must have been completed prior to study registration and the patient must have no evidence of disease for this prior non-breast cancer.
7. Patient must have an initial nodal ultrasound that does not demonstrate more than four suspicious lymph nodes, any suspicious lymph nodes should be biopsied to determine if nodal metastatic disease present.
8. Patient understands that the breast lesion size on final breast imaging must be less than or equal to 2 cm prior to the biopsy procedure being performed on study and if the biopsy shows residual carcinoma the patient will be taken off study.
* Cohort B1 and B2
• Conditions for patient eligibility: Patients on this portion of the study will be limited to receive radiation treatment at MD Anderson Cancer Center or other approved locations and must be enrolled prior to any neoadjuvant systemic therapy provided they meet the following eligibility and ineligibility requirements noted below:
1. ER and/or PR positive, HER2 negative
2. Clinical stage T1N0M0, unicentric non-lobular breast cancer, no lymphovascular space invasion,
3. At least 40 years of age.
4. Oncotype ≤ 25 if age ≥ 50 years
5. Oncotype 0-20 and tumor size ≤ 1.5cm if age 40-49 years.
6. Patient agrees to take anti-estrogen therapy and is interested in breast conservation
7. Female sex.
8. If the patient has a history of a prior non-breast cancer, all treatment for this cancer must have been completed prior to study registration and the patient must have no evidence of disease for this prior non-breast cancer.
9. No history of prior radiation to the area of the breast that would require protocol-mandated treatment
* Cohort C
• Conditions for patient eligibility: Patients on this portion of the study can receive surgical treatment at any MD Anderson Cancer Center or any outside hospital and may be enrolled prior to or following neoadjuvant systemic therapy provided they meet the following eligibility and ineligibility requirements noted below:
1. Pathologically confirmed invasive breast cancer defined as radiologic clinical stage T1 or T2 (≤ 5 cm), N0, clinical stage M0 and HER2 positive (IHC 3+ and or FISH amplified) receiving any standard routine clinical NST regimen containing her-2 directed therapy OR Pathologically confirmed invasive breast cancer defined as radiologic clinical stage T1 (≤ 2 cm), N0, clinical stage M0 and triple negative, receiving any standard routine clinical NST regimen.
2. For cohort C patients participating in the optional pretreatment biopsy, the patient should be able undergo biopsy or surgery of the primary tumor site of suspected or proven invasive breast cancer and should be planned to receive neoadjuvant systemic therapy.
3. Patient desires breast conserving therapy.
4. Age 30 years or older if HER2 positive. Age 50 or older if HER2 negative (triple negative).
5. Female sex.
6. If the patient has a history of a prior non-breast cancer, all treatment for this cancer must have been completed prior to study registration and the patient must have no evidence of disease for this prior non-breast cancer.
7. Patient must have an initial nodal ultrasound that does not demonstrate suspicious lymph nodes; any suspicious lymph nodes should be biopsied to determine if nodal metastatic disease present.
8. Patient must have no evidence of residual invasive tumor or DCIS on pathologic review of the lumpectomy surgical specimen
9. Patient must have no evidence of metastatic disease or isolated tumor cells involving the lymph nodes on pathologic review of the lymph node surgical specimen. If treatment effect in the nodes is noted on the pathology report, the investigators would generally discourage enrollment on this protocol.
10. Unifocal disease or limited multifocal disease that can be excised in a single lumpectomy specimen
* Cohort D (MD Anderson Houston patients only)
* Conditions for patient eligibility: Patients on this portion of the study meet all eligibility requirements for cohort C, but have not enrolled onto the study to omit radiation. Patients in Cohort D can be identified at the time of diagnosis or prior to lumpectomy. They are not required to participate in one of the treatment arms of the study, but can ultimately choose to move to an omission Cohort at a later time point.
3.5.1 Patients with triple negative or her-2 positive tumor who are amenable to breast conserving treatment and have received or are planned for neoadjuvant systemic therapy prior to surgery are eligible for Cohort D.
3.5.2 Eligible patients in cohort D who have undergone optional ARTIDIS biopsies of the primary breast tumor at the time of diagnosis, prior to starting neoadjuvant therapy, or following completion of systemic therapy, at the time of surgery, may later move to Cohort A or C if they meet all eligibility requirements and ultimately desire surgery or radiation omission
Exclusion Criteria:
1. Radiologic evidence for a stage T3 or clinical stage T4 breast cancer in Cohort A1/A2/C; radiologic evidence for a stage T2-T3 or clinical stage T4 breast cancer in Cohort B1/B2.
2. Clinical or pathologic evidence for distant metastases.
3. Prior diagnosis of invasive or ductal carcinoma in situ breast cancer in the ipsilateral breast.
4. Clinical evidence of progression of disease \>20% in the breast or new evidence of nodal metastases.
5. Patient is known to be pregnant.
6. Patient is participating in a NST protocol in which surgical excision of the breast and or lymph nodes are required in Cohort A1/A2/B1/B2.
