Travel distance to radiation therapy and receipt of radiotherapy following breast-conserving surgery.
Breast-conserving surgery (BCS) followed by radiation therapy is an efficacious alternative treatment to mastectomy for women with early-stage breast cancer (1,2). However, 15%–30% of the women treated with BCS for early-stage disease fail to undergo postoperative breast irradiation, despite the known increased risk of ipsilateral recurrence associated with the omission of radiotherapy (3–8). O...
متن کاملSimilar Outcomes of Standard Radiotherapy and Hypofractionated Radiotherapy Following Breast-Conserving Surgery
BACKGROUND Adjuvant radiation therapy is commonly administered to breast cancer patients who received breast-conserving surgery. However, lengthy treatment times of standard radiotherapy pose certain challenges. Here, we performed a prospective controlled study comparing standard radiation to hypofractionated radiotherapy in terms of efficacy and outcome. MATERIAL AND METHODS Eighty breast ca...

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 کاملTumor factors predictive of response to hypofractionated radiotherapy in a randomized trial following breast conserving therapy.
PURPOSE To determine whether tumor grade, molecular subtype and hypoxia predict response to hypofractionated versus standard radiotherapy (RT) following breast-conserving surgery (BCS) for node-negative breast cancer in a randomized controlled trial (RCT). PATIENTS AND METHODS Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tumor blocks were available on 989 of 1234 patients enrolled in the Hypofract...
متن کاملRandomized, prospective assessment of moisturizer efficacy for the treatment of radiation dermatitis following radiotherapy after breast-conserving surgery
