This French study reports the 5-year results of partial-breast irradiation using intraoperative radiation therapy (IORT) with 50 kV x-rays, in select early breast cancer patients. We report a retrospective analysis of 676 consecutive early breast cancer patients treated between November 2011 and December 2015 by partial-breast irradiation using the INTRABEAM system. Patients were highly selected based on the ASTRO and GEC-ESTRO criteria and underwent breast-conservative surgery and IORT, completed with additional whole-breast irradiation (WBI) when unexpected unfavorable prognostic factors were found at the final pathology report.

Methods And Materials: Inclusion criteria of INTRAOBS study (prospective observational study) were: ER+ T1N0 unifocal ductal carcinoma; absence of lymphovascular invasion or of extensive intraductal component (Scarff-Bloom-Richardson grade III and HER2+++ excluded). Two different linacs were used (20Gy/1 fraction): one dedicated electron linac (
Article Synopsis
- There is growing interest in how vitamin D (VD) might improve outcomes for breast cancer patients, especially in relation to chemotherapy effectiveness.
- A study involving 327 women found that vitamin D deficiency (below 20 ng/mL) was linked to lower chances of achieving a pathologic complete response (pCR) after neoadjuvant chemotherapy.
- While vitamin D deficiency didn't show a significant impact on overall survival, some trends indicated it could affect survival rates in certain breast cancer subtypes, such as triple-negative and hormone receptor-positive cancers.
Objective: This study analyzed the outcomes of a series of consecutive patients diagnosed with a retroperitoneal soft tissue sarcoma (RSTS) with vascular involvement and who underwent a multidisciplinary operation.
Methods: Between 2000 and 2013, 126 patients were referred for oncovascular surgery in our institution. Among these, 31 consecutive patients underwent operations for RSTS with vascular involvement.
