In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

The purpose of this research study is to learn more about the effects of using proton radiation therapy delivered over a shorter course of treatment (3 weeks) compared with a longer, standard course of treatment (5 weeks) for women with breast cancer who require radiotherapy to the breast/chest wall and regional lymph nodes.

If both sides will be treated comprehensively, it will be documented as such Exclusion Criteria: * Presence of skin ulceration and / or ipsilateral satellite nodules and/or edema (including peau d'orange) (T4b or T4c disease) or diagnosis of inflammatory breast cancer (T4d disease) * Residual gross disease detected by imaging or clinical exam with the exception of \<2cm internal mammary lymph node or supraclavicular lymph node amenable to sequential boost * Prior history of radiation therapy overlapping with current target volume (including intraoperative brachytherapy, interstitial catheter brachytherapy, balloon brachytherapy, external beam radiation therapy) * Prior history of explant surgery or implant removal due to infection or wound healing issues without subsequent implant or flap reconstruction * Presence of double/dual port tissue expander * Clinical or radiographic evidence of distant metastatic disease * Pregnant or breast-feeding females * Non-malignant systemic disease that would preclude the patient from receiving study treatment or would prevent required follow-up * History of connective tissue disorder (i.e., systemic lupus erythematosus, scleroderma), dermatomyositis, xeroderma pigmentosum * Known BRCA 1 or BRCA 2 mutation * Presence of an active skin rash * Prior history of breast cancer * Prior invasive non-study malignancy unless disease free for โ‰ฅ 3 years. Non-melanoma skin cancer, well-differentiated thyroid cancers, in situ carcinomas of the oral cavity, cervix, and other organs, and tumors that are not thought to impact the life expectancy of the patient are permissible.
