Hypofractionated irradiation in elderly patients with breast cancer after breast conserving surgery and mastectomy : Analysis of 205 cases
BACKGROUND Several randomized trials and meta-analyses confirmed a wide benefit of radiotherapy (RT), both after breast conserving surgery (BCS) and mastectomy. However, many elderly women don't receive RT. Hypofractionated (HF) RT allows « simplified » and more accessible treatments with equivalent results to classic RT in three large randomized trials. However, there are few available data on...
متن کاملHypofractionated whole breast irradiation: new standard in early breast cancer after breast-conserving surgery
Hypofractionated whole breast irradiation (HF-WBI) has been proved effective and safe and even better for late or acute radiation toxicity for early breast cancer. Moreover, it improves patient convenience, quality of life and is expected to be advantageous in the medical care system by reducing overall cost. In this review, we examined key randomized trials of HF-WBI, focusing on adequate pati...
متن کاملPartial breast irradiation with CyberKnife after breast conserving surgery: a pilot study in early breast cancer
BACKGROUND Local recurrences after breast conserving treatment are mainly close to the original tumor site, and as such shorter fractionation strategies focused on and nearest mammary gland, i.e. accelerated partial breast irradiation (APBI), have been developed. Stereotactic APBI has been attempted, although there is little experience using CyberKnife (CK) for early breast cancer. METHODS Th...

متن کاملLocal recurrence after mastectomy or breast-conserving surgery and radiation.
Approximately 10% to 15% of patients with stage I/II invasive breast cancer will develop a clinically isolated local recurrence. The standard management of an ipsilateral breast tumor recurrence following breast-conserving surgery and radiation is salvage mastectomy, while local excision and radiation are optimal treatment of a chest wall recurrence following initial mastectomy. Although there ...
