Accelerated partial breast irradiation: advances and controversies
The management of localized breast cancer has changed dramatically over the past three to four decades. Breast-conserving therapy, which involved lumpectomy followed by adjuvant irradiation, is now widely considered the standard of care in women with early-stage breast cancer. Accelerated partial breast irradiation (APBI), which involves focal irradiation of the lumpectomy cavity over a short p...
متن کاملAccelerated Partial Breast Irradiation in Clinical Practice.
Accelerated partial breast irradiation (APBI) has been under clinical investigation for more than 15 years. There are several technical approaches that are clinically established, e.g. brachytherapy, intraoperative radiotherapy (IORT), or external-beam radiotherapy. The understanding of the underlying biology, optimal technical procedures, patient selection criteria, and imaging changes during ...
متن کاملAccelerated Partial Breast Irradiation and Hypofractionated Whole Breast Radiation
Breast conservation therapy (BCT), consisting of local excision of the breast tumor to achieve negative margins followed by whole breast irradiation, is standard treatment for early-stage breast cancer. The conventional radiotherapy course treats the entire breast, typically followed by a boost to the tumor bed over six to seven weeks. While the efficacy and cosmetic outcomes of conventionally ...
متن کاملAccelerated partial breast irradiation: potential roles following breast-conserving surgery.
BACKGROUND Multiple randomized trials comparing mastectomy to lumpectomy and whole breast irradiation (WBI) have shown equivalent survival outcomes in early-stage breast cancer. WBI requires a treatment course of several weeks, which has resulted in limited access to breast-conserving therapy in certain populations. A shorter accelerated course of partial breast irradiation (APBI) has been inve...
متن کاملAccelerated partial-breast irradiation: the current state of our knowledge.
Breast-conserving therapy consisting of segmental mastectomy followed by whole-breast irradiation (WBI) has become widely accepted as an alternative to mastectomy as a treatment for women with early-stage breast cancer. Accelerated partial-breast irradiation (APBI) is a shorter, alternative radiation technique for select patients with favorable early-stage breast cancer. We review here the diff...
