“…The authors of this study found that the two devices offered comparable target volume coverage, but that CP allowed signifi cantly more normal tissue sparing. The mean ipsilateral breast V50 was 19.8% vs. 18.0%, the mean ipsilateral lung V30 was 3.7% vs. 2.8%, the mean heart V5 was 57.0% vs. 54.3%, and the maximum skin point doses per fraction were 312.2 and 273.6 cGy for the MS and CP methods respectively (Dickler 2007). …”

Multiple institutions have explored accelerated partial breast irradiation (APBI). The method of APBI with the longest reported follow-up is multicatheter interstitial brachytherapy. Balloon brachytherapy was introduced to simplify the APBI procedure. The MammoSite device was the first breast brachytherapy device designed for the treatment of APBI to hit the market. The MammoSite catheter was adopted rapidly in both academic and community settings and has led to a great increase in the number of patients undergoing the APBI procedure. We introduce and describe five additional breast brachytherapy devices.
