Do All Patients Require Radiotherapy after Breast-Conserving Surgery?
Radiotherapy following breast conservation is routine in the treatment of breast cancer. This creates a large demand for radiotherapy services with implicit cost effects and potential morbidity to patients. Radiotherapy is administered to decrease local recurrence, but is radiotherapy required for all breast cancers? A literature search using the Medline and Ovid databases was conducted between...
متن کاملImproving radiotherapy after breast-conserving surgery.
Drs. Mouw and Harris have reviewed data from randomized clinical trials (RCTs) and from selected institutional experiences with whole breast irradiation (WBI), usually delivered with tangent pair radiation therapy (RT) over 5 to 7 weeks, accelerated whole-breast irradiation (AWBI), usually delivered over 3 to 4 weeks, and accelerated partial-breast irradiation (APBI), usually delivered in a sin...
متن کاملComparison of “heart and lung volume absorbed dose” between electron and photon boost radiotherapy after breast conserving surgery
Background: Breast conserving surgery (BCS) followed by radiotherapy (RT) has been widely accepted as the standard treatment in early stages of invasive breast cancer. The standard technique of RT includes whole breast irradiation (WBI). Additional tumor bed boost irradiation has also an important role in the local tumor control. But there are various controversial delivery methods. The aim of ...
متن کاملAccelerated partial breast irradiation as sole radiotherapy after breast-conserving surgery for early stage breast cancer.
Authors' conclusions Based on the available evidence, the Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association Medical Advisory Panel made the following judgments about whether accelerated partial-breast irradiation (APBI) as sole radiotherapy meets the Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association Technology Evaluation Center (TEC) criteria to decrease recurrence after breastconserving surgery for early stage brea...
متن کاملPredictive parameters for selection of electronic tissue compensation radiotherapy in early-stage breast cancer patients after breast-conserving surgery
Electronic tissue compensation (eComp) is an external beam planning technique allowing user to manually generate dynamic beam fluence to produce more uniform or modulated dose distribution. In this study, we compared the effectiveness between conventional three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3DCRT) and eComp for whole breast irradiation. 3DCRT and eComp planning techniques were used to gen...
