Abstract

Whole breast irradiation (WBI) is the standard after breast conservation surgery. However, WBI in selected patients has been questioned. Accelerated partial breast irradiation (APBI) focuses treatment on the lumpectomy bed. Many modalities of delivering APBI have been developed: multicatheter interstitial brachytherapy, MammoSite balloon catheter, single insertion multicatheter devices, three-dimensional conformal external-beam radiation therapy and intraoperative techniques. Numerous studies of APBI have demonstrated excellent local control and cosmetic outcomes in early-stage breast cancer patients.
