Accelerated partial breast irradiation in an Asian population: dosimetric findings and preliminary results of a multicatheter interstitial program
INTRODUCTION Accelerated partial breast irradiation (APBI) using the multicatheter method has excellent cosmesis and low rates of long-term toxicity. However, there are few studies looking at the feasibility of this procedure and the outcomes in an Asian population. This study aims to look at outcomes at our hospital. METHODS We identified 121 patients treated with APBI at our center between ...
متن کاملComparison of accelerated partial breast irradiation via multicatheter interstitial brachytherapy versus whole breast radiation
BACKGROUND Brachytherapy as adjuvant treatment for early-stage breast cancer has become widely available and offers patients an expedited treatment schedule. Given this, many women are electing to undergo brachytherapy in lieu of standard fractionation radiotherapy. We compare outcomes between patients treated with accelerated partial breast irradiation (APBI) via multicatheter interstitial bra...
متن کاملDosimetric and radiobiological evaluation of Accelerated Partial Breast Irradiation Techniques
Accelerated Partial Breast Irradiation (APBI) decreases the duration of entire radiotherapy course (Sanders ME et al 2007). The reduced treatment volume makes APBI more appealing to both clinicians and patients. The uses of brachytherapy either as HDR or LDR interstitial implants have shown promising results which are obvious from the published research works (Arthur DW et al 2003; Baglan KL et...
متن کاملComparing a volume based template approach and ultrasound guided freehand approach in multicatheter interstitial accelerated partial breast irradiation
PURPOSE Currently, there are two described methods of catheter insertion for women undergoing multicatheter interstitial accelerated partial breast irradiation (APBI). These are a volume based template approach (template) and a non-template ultrasound guidance freehand approach (non-template). We aim to compare dosimetric endpoints between the template and non-template approach. MATERIAL AND ...
متن کاملComparative dosimetric findings using accelerated partial breast irradiation across five catheter subtypes
PURPOSE Accelerated partial breast irradiation (APBI) with balloon and strut adjusted volume implants (SAVI) show promising results with excellent tumor control and minimal toxicity. Knowing the factors that contribute to a high skin dose, rib dose, and D95 coverage may reduce toxicity, improve tumor control, and help properly predict patient outcomes following APBI. METHODS AND MATERIALS A r...
