Twin Cities Brachytherapy Study for Ductal Carcinoma in Situ A Phase II Trial

RATIONALE: Internal radiation uses radioactive material placed directly into or near a tumor
to kill tumor cells. Giving internal radiation therapy using a special radiation therapy
device may kill any tumor cells that remain after surgery.

PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well internal radiation therapy after lumpectomy
works in treating women with ductal carcinoma in situ.

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

- Determine the ipsilateral breast tumor recurrence rate in women with ductal carcinoma in
situ undergoing lumpectomy followed by brachytherapy using the MammoSite^® Radiation
Therapy System.

Secondary

- Determine the early and late complication rates and cosmetic outcome in these patients
after treatment.

OUTLINE: Patients undergo lumpectomy. Patients with negative tumor margins* (no ink on tumor)
undergo placement of the MammoSite^® Radiation Therapy System at the time of lumpectomy or
within 4 weeks after surgery.

NOTE: *If positive margins are present, the surgeon may elect to resect the positive margins
and then insert a new MammoSite® device if all other eligibility criteria are met.

Beginning 2-5 days after placement of the MammoSite^®, patients undergo brachytherapy through
the MammoSite^® twice daily for 5 days (a total of 10 fractions).

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed periodically for ≥ 5 years.

Inclusion Criteria:

- Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) confirmed by excisional or needle biopsy

- Size: < 3 cm on mammogram

- Unicentric disease

- Ability to place MammoSite device at time of lumpectomy or within 4 weeks of
lumpectomy

- Patient Age: ≥ 18 years, no upper limit

- Life expectancy > 5 years

Exclusion Criteria:

- Prior history of cancer other than basal or squamous cell skin cancer or in situ
cancer of the cervix

- Pregnant or breast feeding

- Multicentric disease

- Diagnosis of collagen vascular diseases, such as systemic lupus erythematosis,
scleroderma, or dermatomyositis
