Conclusions APBI with multicatheter placed after lumpectomy for BC is feasible and safe but requires a strict selection of patients. Moreover, it may have certain advantages over other APBI techniques and over standard radiation therapy.doi:10.1016/j.cireng.2013.02.005Natalia...
"One of the rationales for pursuing partial-breast radiation was the possibility that patients would have equal outcomes to treating the whole breast, since the majority of the time local recurrences happen near the lumpectomy cavity. These data suggest that this hypothesis may be true for the gr...
ATLANTA — In a study of women with early breast cancer, outcomes with accelerated partial-breast irradiation (APBI) and traditional whole-breast irradiation (WBI) were comparable at 10 years. The women received the radiotherapy after lumpectomy. A matched-pair analysis revealed that were no signif...
WBI following lumpectomy has comparable ipsilateral recurrence rates compared to mastectomy, Vicini explained. Accelerated PBI treats the tumor bed area instead of the entire breast and reduces radiation treatment time from 3-6 weeks to 5-8 days, he noted. "The main purpose of our study was to...

CONCLUSIONS: Repeat lumpectomy and APBI for in-breast tumor recurrence after prior external beam radiotherapy has been delivered with acceptable outcomes, justifying a phase II multicenter trial for validation. 展开 关键词: reirradiation breast brachytherapy partial breast irradiation recurrent breast cancer...
radiation planning. Implant quality is determined by examination of three parameters: balloon conformance to the lumpectomy cavity, distance from the surface of the balloon to the skin surface, and the symmetry of the balloon in relationship to the central catheter. Treatment planning parameters are:...
