Quality of Life (QOL)scaled responses
Quality of Life (QOL) will be evaluated using a QOL Assessment (general to breast cancer patients receiving radiation therapy following tumor removal) and a QOL Supplement (specific to subjects receiving trial treatment). Both documents include subsets of questions, each with a different subscale. The assessments include both lifestyle QOL factors (sleep, activity, friends/family, general life enjoyment, etc.) and breast condition (pain, appearance, ect.). This secondary endpoint will focus on the QOL Supplement, comparing breast condition by treatment, noting changes in both the medial and lateral aspects breast including breast texture (thickening and hardness), pain, tenderness, shape, sensitivity, swelling, redness, itching, flaking skin, blistering and fluid leak. The patient will note, for each item, in which side of the breast they are experiencing the negative breast condition or if there is no difference.
Time frame: start of therapy through one year follow-up
