Purpose: To describe the quality assurance (QA) program and early toxicities in the phase III randomized trial BONBIS (NCT00907868) on the role of a localized radiation boost in ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS).

Materials And Methods: From November 2008 to July 2014, 2004 patients were randomized in arm A (only whole breast radiotherapy, WBRT) and arm B (WBRT + boost). The QA program involved 44 participant centers that performed the dummy run (DR).

Background: Few data are available on survival and predictive factors in early breast cancer (BC) patients treated with neoadjuvant endocrine therapy (NET).

Methods: This is a pooled analysis of two multicentre, randomised non-comparative phase 2 clinical trials evaluating neoadjuvant anastrozole and fulvestrant efficacy for postmenopausal HR+/HER2- breast cancer patients: HORGEN (NCT00871858) and CARMINA02 (NCT00629616) studies.

Results: In total, 236 patients were included in CARMINA02 and HORGEN trials.

Purpose: Identification of clinicopathological factors predicting for a locoregional recurrence (LRR) after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) could help to decide on the optimal locoregional radiotherapy. The objective of this trial is to identify those factors in the context of a phase III trial (European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer 10994).

Methods: Patients received NAC followed by surgery with or without radiotherapy.

Purpose: To examine psycho-social and geographic determinants of delay in starting radiotherapy in early invasive breast cancer patients.

Material And Methods: Waiting time was defined as the time elapsed until the beginning of radiotherapy, starting from the date of surgery (in absence of chemotherapy) or from the end of chemotherapy.

Results: Eight hundred and ninety six women aged 24-89 took part in the study.
