Quality of life measurement: The quality of life of breast cancer patients treated with conservative surgery and adjuvant whole breast hypofractionated radiotherapy, without boost, will be evaluated.
This is a homogeneous, single institution, observational, non-interventional, prospective study of 500 patients who will be treated according to the standard protocol of adjuvant hypofractionated radiotherapy after breast conserving surgery, at a total dose of 40 Gy/ 15 fr (5 fr/ week, 3 consecutive weeks). In addition to the regular follow up, the patients will respond to the quality-of-life questionnaires (QLQ) of the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC), general, QLQ- C30, and specific for breast (BR), QLQ- BR23, at the first visit, at the end of radiotherapy and at the subsequent follow-up visits from 6 months up to 5 and a half years, to evaluate the quality of life during and after the treatment.
The study also has a retrospective arm of approximately 3300 patients (number of patients and characteristics of disease expanded with the amendment presented to the Lombardia 1 Ethics Committee in May 22/2024), treated from January 2009, for whom disease control and toxicity will be evaluated.
