To de-escalate radiation therapy in women with breast cancer.
The study is a prospective, multi-center, single arm cohort study of omission of adjuvant whole breast radiation therapy (WBRT) following breast conserving surgery (BCS) in patients with a pathological complete response (pCR) following neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC). Eligible and consenting female patients with newly diagnosed T1-3 node negative breast cancer with no clinical evidence of distant metastatic disease, who have been treated with NAC, BCS and axillary staging surgery with final pathology demonstrating a pCR (ypT0N0) will be enrolled to the study and followed. The first analysis is planned when follow-up is a median of 5 years. Study participants will not receive adjuvant WBRT, the current standard of care. The primary outcome is ipsilateral breast tumour recurrence (IBTR) at median 5-year follow-up. Study participants will be followed and assessed for local recurrence, regional recurrence, distant recurrence, DFS and OS. In addition, any additional breast cancer treatments received by the participant for the first recurrence event including repeat BCS, mastectomy, additional systemic therapy and radiation therapy (RT) will be documented. The planned sample size is 352 study participants.

Ipsilateral breast tumour recurrence (IBTR)
defined as ipsilateral recurrence (invasive or insitu) in the ipsilateral breast or chest wall. Histological evidence of IBTR is required. All such events will be reviewed by a central adjudication committee.
Time frame: 5 years
Mastectomy free interval
defined as time from registration to undergoing ipsilateral mastectomy.
Time frame: 5 years
Relapse free interval (RFI)
defined as time from registration to recurrence of invasive disease in the ipsilateral breast, regional nodes (axilla, supraclavicular, or internal mammary), distant areas beyond local or regional limits (distant recurrence), and death from breast cancer.
Time frame: 5 years
Disease free survival (DFS)
defined as time from registration to in breast invasive tumour recurrence, regional invasive recurrence, distant recurrence, contralateral breast cancer, second primary non-breast cancers, death from breast cancer, and death from non-breast cancer.
Time frame: 5 years
Overall survival (OS)
defined as time from registration to death from any cause.
Time frame: 5 years
