Abstract:
Patients with low-risk invasive ductal carcinoma treated with breast-conserving surgery (BCS) were included in a multicatheter brachytherapy APBI protocol. The primary endpoint was ipsilateral breast recurrence. Between December 2008-December 2017, 186 low-risk breast cancer patients were treated with APBI using interstitial multicatheter brachytherapy and followed prospectively. At 5-years of follow-up, cumulative local recurrence (LR) and cause-specific survival was 1.1% (95% CI 0.3-1.9) and 98.3% (95% CI 97.3-99.3%) respectively. No grade 3 adverse effects were observed. Postoperative APBI using multicatheter brachytherapy after BCS in early breast cancer patients have excellent rates of local control and survival, without significant toxicity.
