Long-term outcomes of invasive ipsilateral breast tumor recurrences after lumpectomy in NSABP B-17 and B-24 randomized clinical trials for DCIS

  • Patients enrolled in the NSABP B-17 trial:
    • Were randomly assigned to receive:
      • Partial mastectomy only or partial mastectomy followed by lattice radiotherapy (LRT; a novel technique of delivering heterogeneous doses of radiation to voluminous tumors not amenable to surgery) for the treatment of localized DCIS
    • The trial showed a clear benefit for the addition of radiation
  • Patients enrolled in the NSABP B-24 trial:
    • Were randomly assigned to receive LRT or LRT plus tamoxifen (LRTT)
  • At 15-year follow-up:
    • The risk of death in these trials was low:
      • Ranging from 2.3% for patients who had LRTT to 4.7% for patients who had LRT
    • Ipsilateral breast tumor recurrence was:
      • 35% (19.6% invasive, 15.4% DCIS) in the lumpectomy only arm of B-17 and 19.8% (10.7% invasive, 9.0% DCIS) in the LRT arm
      • In B-24 IBRT was 16.6% (9.0 invasive, 7.6% DCIS) in the LRT arm and 13.2% (6.6% invasive, 6.7% DCIS) in the LRTT arm
    • The risk of contralateral new primary ranged from:
      • 4.9% (3.3% invasive, 1.6% DCIS) in the LRTT arm of B-24 to 9.3% (5.6% invasive, 3.7% DCIS) in the LRT arm of B-17
