Phyllodes tumor (PT) of the breast is a rare fibroepithelial neoplasm, and the role of postoperative radiotherapy (PORT) remains controversial. Our team has previously established a molecular subtyping system for PT, classifying patients into four subtypes. Among them, the malignant novel 1/2 (MN1/MN2) subtypes exhibit extremely high risk of local recurrence, and retrospective data suggest that PORT may significantly improve local control in these subtypes. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of molecular subtype-guided postoperative radiotherapy (PORT) in patients with MN-subtype phyllodes tumor of the breast. This prospective, multicenter, open-label, randomized controlled trial plans to enroll 160 patients with molecularly confirmed MN1 or MN2 subtype who have undergone R0 resection. Patients will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to either the PORT group or the observation-only group, with stratification by negative margin width (<1 cm vs. ≥1 cm) and molecular subtype (MN1 vs. MN2). The primary endpoint is 2-year local recurrence-free survival (LRFS). Secondary endpoints include distant metastasis-free survival (DMFS), disease-free survival (DFS), overall survival (OS), and the incidence of acute and late radiotherapy-related toxicities. By using an innovative molecular subtyping system to precisely select the target population, this study seeks to assess the benefit and safety of PORT in MN-subtype phyllodes tumors. The results are expected to provide the highest level of evidence for this specific subgroup, advance treatment strategies toward "molecular subtype-guided precision radiotherapy," improve patient outcomes, and inform future clinical guidelines.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Postoperative Radiotherapy (PORT) | Experimental | Patients receive postoperative radiotherapy starting within 8-12 weeks (max 16 weeks) after R0 resection. For breast-conserving surgery: whole-breast irradiation (50 Gy/25 fractions) plus sequential tumor bed boost (10-16 Gy/5-8 fractions). For mastectomy: chest wall irradiation (50 Gy/25 fractions). No routine regional nodal irradiation unless pathologically positive. Acute and late toxicities monitored per CTCAE v5.0. |
|
| Observation | No Intervention |
| Name | Type | Description | Arm Group Labels | Other Names |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Postoperative Radiotherapy (PORT) | Radiation | Radiotherapy delivered after R0 resection. For breast-conserving surgery: whole-breast irradiation (50 Gy in 25 fractions, 2 Gy/fraction, 5 fractions/week) followed by sequential tumor bed boost (10-16 Gy in 5-8 fractions, 2 Gy/fraction). For mastectomy: chest wall irradiation (50 Gy in 25 fractions). Techniques allowed: IMRT, VMAT, or TOMO. No routine regional nodal irradiation unless pathologically confirmed nodal involvement. Target volume and organ-at-risk constraints as per protocol (e.g., ipsilateral lung Dmean <15 Gy, heart Dmean <5 Gy for left-sided tumors). Acute and late toxicities assessed by CTCAE v5.0. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| 2-year Local Recurrence-Free Survival (LRFS) | Time from randomization to the first documented locoregional recurrence (ipsilateral breast/chest wall or regional lymph nodes) confirmed by imaging and/or pathology, or death from any cause, whichever occurs first. Patients alive without locoregional recurrence are censored at the date of last known follow-up. | From randomization up to 2 years post-randomization (primary analysis at 2 years) |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Distant Metastasis-Free Survival (DMFS) | From randomization up to 5 years (primary analysis for secondary endpoints will be performed at 2 years, with extended follow-up up to 5 years) | |
| Disease-Free Survival (DFS) | From randomization up to 5 years (primary analysis of secondary endpoints at 2 years, with extended follow-up to 5 years) |
