ROMANCE:
Phase III Open Labeled Randomized Trial of Omission of Whole-Breast Radiation
Therapy in patients with very low risk DCIS
4
MAIN OBJECTIVE :
TO DETERMINE WHETHER THE
COMBINED USE OF CLINICAL, MORPHOLOGICAL,
AND IMMUNOHISTOCHEMICAL MARKERS OF LOW
RECURRENCE RISK IN DCIS, COULD BE USED TO
IDENTIFY PATIENTS WHO COULD BE SAFELY
OMITTED THE DELIVERY OF WHOLE-BREAST
IRRADIATION FOLLOWING BREAST-CONSERVING
EXCISION WITH TUMOUR-FREE MARGINS
HYPOTHESES AT 5-YEAR:
< 3,5 % IBR IN EXPERIMENTAL ARM (NO RT)
0,8 % IBR IN REFERENCE ARM (RT)
Α (UNILATERAL) = 2% ; Β = 97%
666 PATIENTS (444 : 222)
