TomoTherapy® Helical Radiotherapy System Helps Preserve Breast Cancer Patients' Long-term Heart and Lung Functionality
Phase III, randomized controlled trial results highlight patient reported outcomes at 10 years' follow-up
Accuray Incorporated announced today that data from a phase III, randomized controlled trial, TomoBreast, indicate post-surgery hypofractionated radiotherapy delivered with the TomoTherapy® System is superior to conventional radiotherapy in preserving long-term heart and lung functioning in women with early breast cancer. An analysis of patient reported outcomes showed 10-year survival free of heart and lung deterioration was 84.5% with TomoTherapy delivered radiotherapy - a significant improvement above the 66.9% achieved with conventional radiotherapy. The single-center trial results were published online in BMC Cancer.
