“…Regarding the performance, features, and reproducibility as well as regarding the possibilities to shape adequate dose distribution, there exist large differences among diverse brachytherapy techniques. Today there are several brachytherapy techniques available-multicatheter brachytherapy; single-entry intracavitary devices like the MammoSite balloon; singleentry multilumen catheter devices like SAVI (strut-adjusted volume implant, Cianna Medical, Aliso Viejo, CA), CONTURA Multi-Lumen Balloon (Bard Biopsy Systems, Tempe, AZ), or ClearPath (NorthAmerican Scientific Inc., Chatsworth, CA); electronic brachytherapy, seeds brachytherapy, and non-invasive brachytherapy [72][73][74][75][76][77][78][79][80][81]. Among all these techniques, level 1 evidence is only available for multicatheter brachytherapy [1].…”

Purpose This consensus statement from the Breast Cancer Working Group of the German Society for Radiation Oncology (DEGRO) aims to define practical guidelines for accelerated partial-breast irradiation (APBI). Methods Recent recommendations for relevant aspects of APBI were summarized and a panel of experts reviewed all the relevant literature. Panel members of the DEGRO experts participated in a series of conferences, supplemented their clinical experience, performed a literature review, and formulated recommendations for implementing APBI in clinical routine, focusing on patient selection, target definition, and treatment technique. Results Appropriate patient selection, target definition for different APBI techniques, and basic rules for appropriate APBI techniques for clinical routine outside of clinical trials are described. Detailed recommendations for APBI in daily practice, including dose constraints, are given. Conclusion Guidelines are mandatory to assure optimal results of APBI using different techniques.

“…APBI is a common option for radiotherapy in patients with early local malignancy amenable to conservative resection and may be delivered via three primary brachytherapy methods: interstitial implants, liquid-filled single-entry devices, or air-filled single entry devices [ 20 ]. The SAVI brachytherapy device can be directly inserted into an excisional site, such as the lumpectomy bed, for direct radiotherapy administration at exact points within the operative site in an effort to further reduce dose to site adjacent normal tissue [ 21 , 22 ].…”

“…Ideally, the SAVI applicator should be inserted from a position where it is not noticeable as a scar and treatment can be performed without any applicator change during the treatment period (between imaging for treatment planning and end of treatment). In reality, however, the applicator may change its shape ( 14 ) and rotate or displace ( 15 ). These applicator deformations and displacements may change the dose to the targets and organs at risk ( 16 ), potentially resulting in decreased treatment efficacy.…”
