This clinical trial tests how well ultra-hypofractionated (UF) whole breast irradiation (WBI) with lumpectomy cavity boost (CB) works in treating patients with stage I-III breast cancer. Breast conservation therapy (BCT) is the recommended treatment for patients with early stage breast cancer. BCT involves a lumpectomy followed by breast radiation. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays, particles, or radioactive seeds to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Traditionally, WBI has been given once daily over 5-6 weeks and then those at high-risk for recurrence receive additional radiation (boost) to the lumpectomy cavity daily over 4-8 days. This has now been replaced by moderate hypofractionated radiation. Hypofractionated radiation therapy delivers higher doses of radiation therapy over a shorter period of time and may kill more tumor cells and have fewer side effects. Although moderate hypofractionated radiation therapy reduces the length of treatment from 6-7 weeks to 3-4 weeks, the length of treatment still remains a barrier for many patients. UF-WBI with CB delivers radiation to the whole breast and the surgical cavity at the same time over 5 daily treatments. Giving UF-WBI with CB may prevent recurrence and prolong survival as well as improve the quality of life in patients with stage I-III breast cancer.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:
I. To evaluate the impact of UF-WBI + CB as assessed by patient-reported Global Cosmesis Score (GCS) at 1 year.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To characterize the patient-reported cosmetic appearance of the breast over time, as assessed by GCS.
II. To determine short- and long-term physician-reported cosmetic appearance of the breast, as assessed by GCS.
III. To evaluate the acute and late patient-reported radiation-associated toxicities.
IV. To evaluate the acute and late physician-reported radiation-associated toxicities.
V. To estimate:
Va. 5-year in-breast recurrence;
Vb. 5-year distant recurrence;
Vc. 5-year disease-free survival (DFS);
Vd. 5-year overall survival (OS).
EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:
I. To evaluate patient-reported quality-of-life (QoL).
II. To evaluate volumetric and dosimetric factors associated with acceptable breast cosmesis.
III. To evaluate volumetric and dosimetric factors associated with acute and late radiation-associated toxicities.
OUTLINE:
Patients undergo UF-WBI with CB once daily (QD) on consecutive business days for up to 5 fractions in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Additionally, patients undergo cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) prior to each radiation treatment.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 1 month, 6 months, then annually for up to 5 years.
