About this study

The optimal surgical treatment option (BCS+RT versus MAST) for young patients with early-stage breast cancer remains debated. The present study aims to explore trends in surgical management and compare survival outcomes between BCS+RT and MAST in young patients with early-stage breast cancer, ultimately providing optimal treatment strategies for Asian populations.

Read the detailed description

This study is a unique addition to the current research on young women with early-stage breast cancer, aiming to compare the survival outcomes between BCS+RT and MAST, providing valuable insights into their effectiveness for this group of patients. This study enrolled patients at West China Hospital, Sichuan University. Kaplan-Meier analyses with the log-rank test were applied to compare the locoregional recurrence-free survival (LRFS), distant metastasis-free survival (DMFS), breast cancer-specific survival (BCSS), and overall survival (OS). Cox multivariate hazard regression was employed to assess hazard ratios (HRs) between the two groups for survival outcomes.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • MAST groupProcedure or surgery

  • breast-conserving surgery plus adjuvant radiotherapyProcedure or surgery

    Patients with early-stage (stage I, stage II, T≤2), and having the willingness to receive BCS were treated with BCS. All patients with BCS received post-surgery radiotherapy. Radiotherapy was administrated with a prescribed dose of 40 Gy in 15 fractions with photons and a boost of 10-16 Gy in 5-8 fractions with electrons to the ipsilateral breast. If axillary lymph nodes were involved, a conventional fraction was delivered with a prescribed dose of 50 Gy in 25 fractions to the ipsilateral breast and draining lymph node regions.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Breast Cancer, run by West China Hospital.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Sep 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Breast cancer-specific survival (BCSS) (time frame: Jan 1, 2008 to 31 Dec, 2019). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 19 Sep 2024.
