Partial Breast Irradiation for Breast Cancer
2023Objectives. To evaluate the comparative effectiveness and harms of partial breast irradiation (PBI) compared with whole breast irradiation (WBI) for early-stage breast cancer, and how differences in effectiveness and harms may be influenced by patient, tumor, and treatment factors, including treatment modality, target volume, dose, and fractionation ...

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 ...

Partial Breast Irradiation after Breast-Conserving Surgery
Strahlentherapie und Onkologie, 2005The standard technique of postoperative radiotherapy after breast-conserving surgery is percutaneous irradiation of the entire breast to a total dose of 45-50 Gy which is usually followed by a tumor bed boost. Since the majority of local recurrences in selected patients occur close to the former tumor bed, the question arises whether a sole tumor bed ...
