Partial breast irradiation for early breast cancer.
BACKGROUND Breast conserving therapy for women with breast cancer consists of local excision of the tumour (achieving clear margins) followed by radiation therapy (RT).

Whole breast RT may not protect agains...

متن کاملPartial-breast irradiation versus whole-breast irradiation for early-stage breast cancer: a cost-effectiveness analysis.
PURPOSE Accelerated partial-breast irradiation (PBI) is a new treatment paradigm for patients with early-stage breast cancer. Although PBI may lead to greater local recurrence rates, it may be cost-effective because of better tolerability and lower cost. We aim to determine the incremental cost-effectiveness of PBI compared with whole-breast radiation therapy (WBRT) for estrogen receptor-positi...
