Demonstration of a Novel Approach Using Surface-Image Guidance to Improve Delivery of Breast Radiotherapy
CTMS#: 18-0135

The first goal of this project is to validate the superiority of semi-permanent marks used in conjunction with specialized light-based surface imaging (SIGRT) in an effort to phase out the use of permanent tattoos for the investigator's patients. The secondary goal of this project is to validate the superiority of specialized light-based surface imaging for daily radiation set-up compared to standard-of-care imaging methods using ionizing radiation, such as weekly port films or cone-beam CT (CBCT) scans during a radiation therapy course for breast cancer.

Cancer Treatment
Breast Reconstruction

Surgery to remove breast cancer brings changes to your body that can be emotionally challenging. Experts at Mays Cancer Center, home to UT Health San Antonio MD Anderson Cancer Center, are helping more women regain their confidence with breast reconstruction surgery. We offer innovative surgical techniques, including flap procedures that use your own tissue. Other procedures, such as nipple and areola reconstruction, restore a more natural appearance. Our patients benefit from our experience from performing a high volume of reconstructions.

Clinical Trial

NSABP-B-51/RTOG 1304 A Randomized Phase III Clinical Trial Evaluating Post-Mastectomy Chest Wall and Regional Nodal XRT and Post-Lumpectomy Regional Nodal XRT in Patients with Positive Axillary Nodes Before Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy Who Convert to Patholog

This randomized phase III trial studies standard or comprehensive radiation therapy in treating patients with early-stage breast cancer who have undergone surgery. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x rays to kill tumor cells. It is not yet known whether comprehensive radiation therapy is more effective than standard radiation therapy in treating patients with breast cancer
