Purpose: For patients with early breast cancer who undergo breast-conserving surgery, adjuvant whole breast irradiation (WBI) with simultaneous integrated boost (SIB) results in lower radiotherapy fractions. Published studies have shown that both conventional fraction with SIB (C-SIB) and hypofractionation with SIB (H-SIB) seem to be safe and feasible. In this study, we sought to compare the oncologic outcomes between C-SIB and H-SIB in early-stage breast cancer.
Materials and Methods: Stage I?II breast cancer patients who received adjuvant WBI with SIB between January 2008 and December 2017 were retrospectively reviewed. The radiation dose in the C-SIB group was 50 Gy and 65 Gy in 25 daily fractions, while in the H-SIB group, it was 43.2 Gy and 52.8 Gy in 16 daily fractions to the whole breast and tumor bed, respectively.
Results: A total of 188 patients, 103 in the C-SIB group and 85 in the H-SIB group, were included. With a median follow-up time of 87 months, 7-year locoregional control of C-SIB was comparable to H-SIB (95.8% vs. 97.4%, p = 0.964). The 7-year distant metastasis-free survival rates of C-SIB and H-SIB were 89.9% and 95.9% (p = 0.111), while the 7-year disease-free survival rates were 84.2% and 95.4%, respectively (p = 0.176). In multivariate analysis, there was no significant prognostic factor associated with better overall survival.
Conclusion: H-SIB provided comparable locoregional control to C-SIB. With the advantage of a shorter radiotherapy course, H-SIB could be a favorable option for WBI in early-stage breast cancer.
