Few studies have analyzed changes in TIL levels following dose-dense dose-intense (dd-di) NAC. Patients and methods: From 2009 to 2018, 117 patients with TNBC received dd-di NAC at our institution.

Purpose: To investigate the efficacy and long-term side effects of hypofractionated postmastectomy radiation therapy (HFRT-PM) of 26 Gy in 6 fractions over 5 weeks.
Methods And Materials: We retrospectively reviewed characteristics and outcomes of patients with stage I to III breast cancer treated with HFRT-PM between 2000 and 2009. Treatment provided 4 fractions of 4 Gy (days 1, 3, 15, 17) and then 2 fractions of 5 Gy (days 29 and 31) over 5 weeks.
Purpose: To evaluate outcomes and postoperative toxicities after intraoperative radiotherapy (IORT) in elderly women.
Population: Women older than 65 years, with infiltrating ductal breast cancer ≤3 cm, expressing estrogen receptor (ER+) without Her2 overexpression, and with negative axillary nodes.
Treatment: Treatment consisted of partial mastectomy with a sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) procedure; in case of positive SLNB, IORT was cancelled.
