Brief Summary:
The GammaPod machine was made by Xcision Medical Systems and is already FDA cleared to deliver focused radiation within the breast Unlike current radiation machines the GammaPod was designed specifically for treating breast cancer The GammaPod can pinpoint radiation to the tumor bed in the breast which lowers the amount of radiation to nearby tissues The machine uses a breast cup system to hold the breast in place for the treatment This breast cup system was tested at MSGCCC Marlene Stewart Greenebaum Comprehensive Cancer Center Patients reported this system was more comfortable than an MRI or mammogram The cup system was able to securely position the breast for treatment in the correct location
Receiving radiation before surgery is not a new concept in cancer management Preoperative radiation has proven to result in improved disease free survival in certain types of cancer
With this study treatment the participants will receive a dose of breast radiation therapy before the lumpectomy surgery The lumpectomy surgery is where they remove the participants tumor
The purpose of this research study is to determine a safe and effective dose of pre-operative radiation to treat early stage breast cancer The pre-operative radiation is delivered using the FDA approved GammaPod machine The study will also determine the cosmesis of pre-operative radiation at different doses Cosmesis is another word for looking at skin changes The research team will use questionnaires for patient and physicians to assess adverse cosmesis changes as accurately as possible In addition the investigators are going to assess radiation related changes using photo software analysis tools and patients quality of life
