Comparison 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 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...
متن کاملAccelerated partial breast irradiation using multicatheter brachytherapy for select early-stage breast cancer: local control and toxicity
BACKGROUND To investigate the efficacy and safety of accelerated partial breast irradiation (APBI) via high-dose-rate (HDR) multicatheter interstitial brachytherapy for early-stage breast cancer. METHODS Between 2002 and 2006, 48 prospectively selected patients with early-stage breast cancer received APBI using multicatheter brachytherapy following breast-conserving surgery. Their median age ...
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...
متن کاملAccelerated 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 ...
