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: potential roles following breast-conserving surgery.
BACKGROUND Multiple randomized trials comparing mastectomy to lumpectomy and whole breast irradiation (WBI) have shown equivalent survival outcomes in early-stage breast cancer. WBI requires a treatment course of several weeks, which has resulted in limited access to breast-conserving therapy in certain populations. A shorter accelerated course of partial breast irradiation (APBI) has been inve...
متن کاملElectron Beam Irradiation Applications
The irradiation of materials with electron beams or X rays is used extensively to enhance or modify their physical, chemical or biological properties. These electron beam “irradiators” cover a very wide range of accelerators technology, beam current and energies to produce a wide variety of products, mostly with polymers. They also are used for curing ink, coatings, and adhesives as well as for...
متن کامل[Accelerated partial breast irradiation with multicatheters during breast conserving surgery for cancer].
INTRODUCTION Accelerated partial breast irradiation (APBI) with multicatheters after lumpectomy for breast cancer (BC) may be an alternative to whole breast irradiation in selected patients. The aim is to show our 5 year experience. METHOD Between June 2007 and June 2012, 87 BC patients have been evaluated for APBI. Inclusion criteria were: age over 40 years, unifocal tumour, infiltrating duc...
متن کاملPartial 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). RT is given to sterilize tumour cells that may remain after surgery to decrease the risk of local tumour recurrence. Most true recurrences occur in the same quadrant as the original tumour. Whole breast RT may not protect agains...
