Study of Radiation Fractionation on Patient Outcomes After Breast REConstruction (FABREC) for Invasive Breast Carcinoma

Inclusion Criteria:

   1. Diagnosed with clinical or pathologic stage I-III invasive breast cancer with TX-T3
   tumor

   2. Has been treated with mastectomy

   3. Has undergone immediate reconstructive surgery with placement of a tissue expander or
   permanent implant at time of mastectomy

   4. Is a candidate for unilateral post-mastectomy radiation therapy as per National
   Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guidelines (post-mastectomy radiation therapy is
   indicated for most patients with positive lymph nodes at time of surgery and
   infrequently for selected node-negative patients)

   5. Use of bolus is permitted, but not required

   6. Age ≥18

Exclusion Criteria:

   1. T4 cancer

   2. Recurrent breast cancer or history of prior breast radiation therapy

   3. Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active
