External Beam Accelerated Partial Breast Irradiation Yields Favorable Outcomes in Patients with Prior Breast Augmentation
PURPOSE To report outcomes in breast cancer patients with prior breast augmentation treated with external beam accelerated partial breast irradiation (EB-APBI) utilizing intensity-modulated radiotherapy or 3-dimensional conformal radiotherapy, both with IGRT. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixteen stage 0/1 breast cancer patients with previous elective bilateral augmentation were treated post-lumpecto...
متن کاملAccelerated partial-breast irradiation: does the evidence stack up?
With regard to multicatheter interstitial brachytherapy (MIB), the review notes high infection rates, citing rates of 0% to 11%. However, an analysis found an infection rate of 10.3% with whole-breast irradiation (WBI), comparable to that noted in the MIB series.[1] In addition, several clinical studies with large numbers of patients and long-term follow-up (including a matched-pair analysis of...
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 کاملAccelerated partial breast irradiation using brachytherapy for breast cancer: patterns in utilization and guideline concordance.
BACKGROUND Accelerated partial breast irradiation using brachytherapy (APBIb) is an alternative to whole-breast irradiation (WBI) after breast-conserving surgery. We evaluated patterns of APBIb use with respect to 2009 American Society for Radiation Oncology consensus guidelines (ASTRO-G) in a population-based cohort. METHODS From Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results data, we identifie...
متن کاملAccelerated partial breast irradiation with high dose rate brachytherapy for early breast cancer.
Globally breast cancer is the most common ma lignancy among women. In India, it is the com monest cancer in Mumbai, Delhi and Bangalore with Age Incidence Rates (AAR) of 28.6, 28.1 and 22.1 per lac women respectively. Though, ma jority of patients present in advanced stages, but due to increasing public awareness and better health care facilities, there is a rising trend in early breast canc...
