Update on accelerated partial-breast irradiation
Current Oncology Reports, 2006Progress in radiotherapy technology, particularly the advent of CT-guided simulation and three-dimensional conformal planning, has given the radiation oncologist the ability to precisely treat part of the breast, instead of the whole breast, using either brachytherapy or external-beam techniques.

Overview of accelerated partial breast irradiation
Current Oncology Reports, 2008Breast conserving therapy (BCT) has become an accepted option in the management of patients with early-stage breast cancer. However, studies have suggested that a lengthy course of adjuvant whole breast irradiation, as a component of BCT, may not always be necessary and that radiation therapy delivered only to the region of the tumor bed may be ...

Morphea as a Consequence of Accelerated Partial Breast Irradiation
Clinical Breast Cancer, 2011Morphea is a localized form of scleroderma usually unaccompanied by the typical systemic stigmata that characterize progressive systemic scleroderma. It rarely manifests at the site of whole breast external-beam radiation therapy. We present an unusual case of radiation-induced morphea (RIM) that occurred after accelerated partial breast irradiation ...

Current status of accelerated partial breast irradiation
Breast Cancer, 2007Accelerated partial breast irradiation (APBI) is a radiotherapy method used in breast-conserving therapy. In APBI, the tumor bed is topically irradiated over a short period after breast-conserving surgery. The fundamental concept underlying APBI is that more than 70% of ipsilateral breast tumor recurrence occurs in the neighborhood of the original ...

Status of Accelerated Partial Breast Irradiation
Current Breast Cancer Reports, 2010Breast-conserving therapy is accepted as a standard of care option for patients with early-stage breast cancer. However, studies examining patterns of failure after treatment suggest that a lengthy course of adjuvant whole breast irradiation delivered as a component of breast-conserving therapy may not always be necessary; indeed, in appropriately ...

Accelerated partial breast irradiation.
Clinical journal of oncology nursing, 2016Local therapies to treat newly diagnosed breast cancer include a lumpectomy with radiation therapy or a mastectomy. The 20-year data from studies about the safety and efficacy of lumpectomy with full-breast radiation therapy support the safety of this regimen and its role to decrease the risk of ipsilateral recurrence and increase long-term ...

Point: Brachytherapy for accelerated partial breast irradiation
Brachytherapy, 2009A number of studies in recent years have detailed the rationale for and the various technical considerations of partial breast irradiation, which is defined as radiation of the site of excision and adjacent breast tissue only. Partial breast irradiation can be delivered with brachytherapy or external modalities.

Accelerated Partial Breast Irradiation- Pros and Cons
Reviews on Recent Clinical Trials, 2011Breast conservation surgery followed by whole breast irradiation has been established as a standard of care for the treatment of early stage breast cancer and is associated with excellent local control and overall survival. As most in-breast recurrences occur in the area surrounding the primary breast cancer, it has been hypothesized that selected ...
