What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Safety of Cisplatin w/ Radiation

    To determine the maximum tolerated dose of cisplatin when given concurrently with radiation therapy for participants with Stage II or III breast cancer who have undergone breast conserving surgery or mastectomy.

    Time frame: 2 years

Secondary outcomes

  1. Local recurrence at 5 years

    To assess local recurrence at 5-years in participants receiving cisplatin concurrently with radiation, as compared with historic controls receiving radiation without concurrent chemotherapy.

    Time frame: 5 years

  2. Long term toxicity

    To assess long-term toxicity in participants receiving cisplatin concurrently with radiation

    Time frame: 2 years
