ST266 intact
ST266 inflamed
Ten (10) patients will be randomized before the first radiation treatment to receive ST266 (4ml) and saline placebo (4ml), one to the medial segment and the other to the lateral segment. The area of the breast will be divided into two, roughly equal parts, medial and lateral. The randomization scheme will be equal in each of two cohorts. The first cohort will receive ST266 and saline placebo applied to intact skin beginning immediately following the first radiation treatment, to continue immediately following each of ten (10) consecutive radiation treatments.
