Brachytherapy in accelerated partial breast irradiation (APBI) – review of treatment methods
Breast conserving surgery (BCS) with following radiotherapy (EBRT) of the conserved breast became widely accepted in the last decades as the treatment of early invasive breast cancer. In an early stage of breast cancer, research has shown that the area requiring radiation treatment to prevent cancer from local recurrence is the breast tissue that surrounds the area where the initial cancer was ...
متن کاملAccelerated Partial Breast Irradiation (APBI): A review of available techniques
Breast conservation therapy (BCT) is the procedure of choice for the management of the early stage breast cancer. However, its utilization has not been maximized because of logistics issues associated with the protracted treatment involved with the radiation treatment. Accelerated Partial Breast Irradiation (APBI) is an approach that treats only the lumpectomy bed plus a 1-2 cm margin, rather t...
متن کاملComparison of 2D- and 3D-guided implantation in accelerated partial breast irradiation (APBI)
PURPOSE In this study two different pre-planning methods (2D vs. 3D) were compared in respect to the implant quality as judged by volumetric and dose parameters of the treatment plans. The aim of this work was to evaluate the influence of the imaging modalities used for pre-planning purpose to the treatment plan quality. MATERIAL AND METHODS Twenty-four patients treated with HDR multicatheter...
متن کاملDosimetric and radiobiological evaluation of Accelerated Partial Breast Irradiation Techniques
Accelerated Partial Breast Irradiation (APBI) decreases the duration of entire radiotherapy course (Sanders ME et al 2007). The reduced treatment volume makes APBI more appealing to both clinicians and patients. The uses of brachytherapy either as HDR or LDR interstitial implants have shown promising results which are obvious from the published research works (Arthur DW et al 2003; Baglan KL et...
متن کاملComparison of accelerated partial breast irradiation via multicatheter interstitial brachytherapy versus whole breast radiation
BACKGROUND Brachytherapy as adjuvant treatment for early-stage breast cancer has become widely available and offers patients an expedited treatment schedule. Given this, many women are electing to undergo brachytherapy in lieu of standard fractionation radiotherapy. We compare outcomes between patients treated with accelerated partial breast irradiation (APBI) via multicatheter interstitial bra...
