BACKGROUND A randomised trial was conducted comparing wide lumpectomy and breast irradiation with modified radical mastectomy. As the follow-up was long (mean duration 22 years), we analysed the variation in the effect of treatment over time. PATIENTS AND METHODS The trial included 179 patients with a breast cancer measuring </=2 cm at macroscopic examination. Eighty-eight patients had breast...
Adjuvant radiotherapy is recommended post breast conserving surgery. Accelerated Partial Breast Irradiation (APBI) offers a more attractive shorter course of treatment over 5 days compared to standard conventional external beam radiotherapy, which is often protracted. Multi-catheter interstitial APBI offers excellent dosimetric coverage. This article describes two insertion techniques for multi...
BACKGROUND Outcome data in young women with ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) are rare. The benefits of boost radiotherapy in this group are also unknown. We aimed to assess the effect of boost radiotherapy in young patients with DCIS. METHODS We included 373 women from 18 institutions who met the following inclusion criteria: having tumour status Tis and nodal status (N)0, age 45 years or youn...
BACKGROUND Angiosarcomas are highly aggressive and malignant blood vessel tumors. Rarely, angiosarcomas develop in the breast following conservative therapy, namely radiotherapy. CASE REPORT A 70-year-old female patient presented with dark purple discoloration of the skin of the right breast. 6 years earlier, the patient had undergone conservative surgery for invasive ductal carcinoma of the ...
Radiotherapy with breast-conserving therapy plays a crucial role in the treatment of early breast cancer. However, optimal radiotherapy targets have been controversial. We therefore evaluated regional recurrence in breast cancer patients with one to three positive lymph nodes (LNs) treated with breast-conserving surgery (BCS) followed by whole-breast irradiation (WBI). From 1993 to 2010, 121 br...
Introduction: Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women. Radiotherapy plays an important role in the treatment of breast cancer and essential part of the standard treatment after breast-conserving surgery, routinely done to eliminate the microscopic residual cancer. The heart and lungs are one of the most important organs at risk of breast cancer radiotherapy that th...
Breast conservation by wide local excision for early breast cancer is now considered safe and should be considered default therapy wherever possible. Unfortunately, this requires access to costly radiotherapy centers. Many women in the developing world or for that matter in wealthy countries with large land masses and small populations do not have access to radiotherapy and are therefore denied...
To investigate patient, cancer and treatment characteristics in females with breast cancer from more remote areas of Australia, to better understand reasons for their poorer outcomes, bi-variable and multivariable analyses were undertaken using the National Breast Cancer Audit database of the Society of Breast Surgeons of Australia and New Zealand. Results indicated that patients from more remo...
Radiotherapy has an established role in reducing the local relapses in breast cancer patients. The objective of this review was to investigate whether radiotherapy or its omission after breast surgery has measurable consequences on local tumor recurrence and patient survival. The late excess of cardiac deaths has also been published in various reports but important advances in the delivery of r...
