Single-Institution Prospective Evaluation of Moderately Hypofractionated Whole-Breast Radiation Therapy With Simultaneous Integrated Boost With or Without Lymphatic Drainage Irradiation After Breast-Conserving Surgery.

Purpose: We report treatment outcomes for patients who received adjuvant moderate hypofractionated whole-breast radiation therapy with simultaneous integrated boost (SIB-mhWBRT) after breast-conserving surgery.

Methods And Materials: SIB-mhWBRT for patients with breast cancer was introduced in our department in July 2017. This prospective evaluation includes 424 consecutive patients treated with SIB-mhWBRT for stage I-III invasive breast cancer (n = 391) and/or ductal carcinoma in situ (n = 33) until December 2021.

Early and Intermediate Treatment Outcome After Postoperative External Beam Accelerated Partial Breast Irradiation in Patients With Early-Stage Breast Cancer.

Purpose: To prospectively evaluate early and intermediate outcome after accelerated partial breast irradiation (APBI) in patients early-with stage breast cancer.

Methods And Materials: Inclusion criteria were defined according to the APBI American Society for Radiation Oncology's ASTRO Evidence-Based Consensus Statement. The prescribed dose was 26 to 28 Gy in 5 fractions on 5 consecutive days.
