Accelerated 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 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 کاملBrachytherapy in accelerated partial breast irradiation (APBI) – review of treatment methods
Breast conserving surgery (BCS) with following radiotherapy (EBRT) of the conserved breast became widely accepted in the last decades as the treatment of early invasive breast cancer. In an early stage of breast cancer, research has shown that the area requiring radiation treatment to prevent cancer from local recurrence is the breast tissue that surrounds the area where the initial cancer was ...
متن کاملFeasibility of accelerated partial breast irradiation with volumetric-modulated arc therapy in elderly and frail patients
BACKGROUND Accelerated partial breast irradiation (APBI) is an option for adjuvant radiotherapy according to ASTRO and ESTRO recommendations. Among the available techniques, volumetric-modulated arc therapy (VMAT) is attractive but has not been extensively studied for APBI. This study assessed its feasibility, tolerance and early oncological outcomes. METHODS We analysed the data of nine pati...
متن کاملComparison of 2D- and 3D-guided implantation in accelerated partial breast irradiation (APBI)
PURPOSE In this study two different pre-planning methods (2D vs. 3D) were compared in respect to the implant quality as judged by volumetric and dose parameters of the treatment plans. The aim of this work was to evaluate the influence of the imaging modalities used for pre-planning purpose to the treatment plan quality. MATERIAL AND METHODS Twenty-four patients treated with HDR multicatheter...
