Accelerated 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 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 کاملShort course hypofractionated whole breast irradiation after conservative surgery: a single institution phase II study
BACKGROUND To assess the oncologic outcomes of hypofractionated whole breast irradiation (Hypo-WBI). METHODS Eligible patients had undergone breast conservative surgery for early breast cancer (pTis-2) and none/limited nodal involvement. Hypo-WBI consisted of 34 Gy in 10 daily fractions over 2 weeks to the whole breast three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3DCRT), followed by a single fra...
متن کاملUptake and costs of hypofractionated vs conventional whole breast irradiation after breast conserving surgery in the United States, 2008-2013.
IMPORTANCE Based on randomized evidence, expert guidelines in 2011 endorsed shorter, hypofractionated whole breast irradiation (WBI) for selected patients with early-stage breast cancer and permitted hypofractionated WBI for other patients. OBJECTIVES To examine the uptake and costs of hypofractionated WBI among commercially insured patients in the United States. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTIC...
متن کاملSHARE: a French multicenter phase III trial comparing accelerated partial irradiation versus standard or hypofractionated whole breast irradiation in breast cancer patients at low risk of local recurrence.
The standard treatment for breast cancer patients at low risk of recurrence is based on conservative surgery followed by radiation therapy delivered to the whole breast. The accelerated partial breast irradiation (APBI) concept, developed more than 15 years ago, could be an option in selected patients. However, the ideal patient profile for APBI is still not clearly identified. Recent reports f...
