Abstract

Abstract Purpose: TomoBreast compared normofractionated conventional radiotherapy (CR) with hypofractionated tomotherapy (TT), on the hypothesis that normal-tissue sparing by tomotherapy should reduce lung-heart toxicity. Quality of life (QOL) outcomes at 8-12 years are presented herein. Materials-Methods: The trial enrolled 123 women in 2007-2011, 64 were randomized to CR, 59 to TT. CR delivered 50 Gy in 25 fractions/5 weeks to the breast/chest wall and regional nodes if node-positive, 16 Gy/8 fractions/1.6 weeks sequential-boost in patients who underwent lumpectomy. TT delivered 42 Gy/15 fractions/3 weeks to the breast/chest wall and regional nodes if node-positive, concurrently with chemotherapy by institution's practice, 51 Gy simultaneous-integrated-boost in patients with lumpectomy. QOL assessments used the EORTC questionnaires QLQ-C30 and QLQ-BR23. Intent-to-treat analyses used the linear mixed-effect model (LMM), and survival analysis applied to time to >10% deterioration (TTD) in QOL-measures. A cardiorespiratory composite TTD event was defined as deterioration in any of the dyspnea, fatigue, physical functioning, or pain measures. Results: On survival and tumor control, there were no differences in overall and disease-free survival. On QOL analysis by LMM, TT in late >2 years period was associated with poorer nausea-scores (modeled deterioration 21.2%, P<0.001), better cognitive functioning (15.7%, P<0.001), better freedom from dyspnea (9.4%, P=0.027), and better freedom from financial stress (13.3%, P<0.001) (Table 1, P-values * ≤.05; ** ≤.01; *** ≤.001). By TTD, the composite outcome showed reduced risk of cardiorespiratory deterioration; the estimated 10-years risk of deterioration was 29.8% in the CR arm versus 13.8% in the TT arm, P=0.033. Conclusion: The long term result shows significantly better cardiorespiratory and other QOL scores in favor of hypofractionation with tomotherapy. Clinical trials to further enhance lung-heart outcome in breast cancer radiotherapy should be considered. Linear mixed model by Time and Tomotherapy.
