Accelerated 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 کاملPartial breast irradiation for early breast cancer.
BACKGROUND Breast conserving therapy for women with breast cancer consists of local excision of the tumour (achieving clear margins) followed by radiation therapy (RT). RT is given to sterilize tumour cells that may remain after surgery to decrease the risk of local tumour recurrence. Most true recurrences occur in the same quadrant as the original tumour. Whole breast RT may not protect agains...
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 کاملAccelerated Partial Breast Irradiation: Using the CyberKnife as the Radiation Delivery Platform in the Treatment of Early Breast Cancer
We evaluate the CyberKnife (Accuray Incorporated, Sunnyvale, CA, USA) for non-invasive delivery of accelerated partial breast irradiation (APBI) in early breast cancer patients. Between 6/2009 and 5/2011, nine patients were treated with CyberKnife APBI. Normal tissue constraints were imposed as outlined in the National Surgical Adjuvant Breast and Bowel Project B-39/Radiation Therapy Oncology G...
