“…72,77 In both studies broader patient selection criteria were used than in the European and American studies, including patients younger than 40 years, with tumors containing an EIC or excised with close/ positive surgical margins. An aggressive fractionation schedule of 36 to 42 Gy total dose in 6-Gy fractions was used by the authors to compensate for the high-risk profi le of the patient groups.…”

Before the era of breast-conserving therapy, brachytherapy implants were used to treat large inoperable breast tumors. In later years, interstitial brachytherapy with rigid needles or multiple flexible catheters has been used to deliver an additional (boost) dose to the tumor bed after breast-conserving surgery and whole-breast irradiation. Reexcision followed by reirradiation using interstitial breast implants has also been implemented as an alternative to mastectomy to treat ipsilateral breast local recurrence after previous breast-conserving therapy. In the past two decades, the new concept of accelerated partial breast irradiation opened a new perspective for breast brachytherapy. The first technique utilized in early accelerated partial breast irradiation studies was multicatheter interstitial brachytherapy. Beyond classical interstitial brachytherapy, recently, new intracavitary applicators have been developed in the United States to decrease the existing barriers against the widespread use of multicatheter brachytherapy. Furthermore, interstitial low-dose-rate seed implants have also been implemented as an alternative for stepping-source multicatheter brachytherapy. In this article, we give an overview of the past achievements, current status, and future perspectives of breast brachytherapy.

“…Interest in accelerated partial breast radiotherapy (APBI) is rising rapidly worldwide [18,20,22,24,27,33,34,38]. Although the rationale varies between different studies [16], it is generally assumed that recurrences after breast-conserving surgery occur near the site of a tumor and that part of the patients may not need adjuvant radiotherapy to the whole breast [6,15].…”

Preliminary result of accelerated partial breast irradiation after breast-conserving surgery

Abstract: APBI after BCS for Japanese women with relatively small breasts was well tolerated, but special care should be taken with treatment technique.
