Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated cosmetic outcomes in early stage breast cancer patients using either intraoperative electron radiotherapy (IOERT) or photon external beam radiotherapy (EB-APBI) after breast-conserving surgery over a 5-year follow-up period.
- A total of 405 patients (241 treated with IOERT and 164 with EB-APBI) showed that both treatments resulted in high satisfaction rates among patients and physicians, with no significant differences in cosmetic outcomes over time.
- The conclusion indicates that both IOERT and EB-APBI provide comparable and satisfactory cosmetic results for early stage breast cancer patients, with similar ratings from both subjective and objective assessments.
Background: Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) is a frequently chosen treatment for patients with brain metastases and the number of long-term survivors is increasing. Brain necrosis (e.g.

Methods: Between 2011 and 2016 women ≥60 years undergoing breast conserving therapy for early stage breast cancer were included in a prospective multi-centre cohort study. Patients were treated with electron IORT (1 × 23.
Background And Purpose: We investigated the acute toxicity of accelerated partial breast irradiation using external beam (EB-APBI) or intraoperative radiotherapy (IORT) techniques in elderly breast cancer patients.
Materials And Methods: Women ≥ 60 years with unifocal breast tumors of ≤ 30 mm were eligible for this prospective multi-center cohort study. IORT was applied with electrons following lumpectomy (23.
Background: Scarce data are available about the cosmetic result of single dose intraoperative electron radiotherapy (IOERT) in breast-conserving radiotherapy.
Methods And Materials: We included 71 breast cancer patients. Breast-conserving surgery and sentinel node procedure had started almost 3 years earlier.
