Dosimetric 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 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 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 کاملCan we improve the dose distribution for single or multi-lumen breast balloons used for Accelerated Partial Breast Irradiation?
PURPOSE The aim of the study was to verify dose distribution parameters for multi-lumen, and artificially created single-lumen balloon applicator used for the same patient with two optimization algorithms: inverse planning simulated annealing (IPSA) and dose point optimization with distance option. MATERIAL AND METHODS Group of 24 patients with multi-lumen balloon applied were investigated. E...
متن کاملAccelerated 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...
