Single fraction of accelerated partial breast irradiation in the elderly: early clinical outcome.


ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:To analyze the clinical outcome of elderly women with early breast cancer who underwent accelerated partial breast irradiation (APBI) based on a post-operative single fraction of multicatheter interstitial high dose-rate brachytherapy (MIB). METHODS:A single institution retrospective cohort study was performed focusing on elderly patients (? 65 years old) presenting a low-risk breast carcinoma treated by lumpectomy plus axillary evaluation followed by MIB. A single fraction of 16 Gy was prescribed on the 100% isodose. Clinical outcome at 3 years was reported based on local relapse free survival (3-y LRFS), specific survival (SS) and overall survival (OS). Acute (
