Brief Summary: PURPOSE This phase II trial studied how well radiation therapy works after surgery in treating women with phyllodes tumor of the breast
RATIONALE Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells Radiation therapy following surgery may be effective in treating patients with phyllodes tumor of the breast
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES
Determine the local recurrence rate in women with phyllodes tumors of the breast previously treated with local excision with negative margins and are now treated with adjuvant radiotherapy Determine the survival rate in patients treated with this regimen
METHODS Within 12 weeks after prior local excision or breast reexcision patients underwent adjuvant radiotherapy 5 days a week for a total of 28 treatments Patients were then followed every 6 months for 10 years
