Does Accelerated Partial Breast Irradiation Decrease Scattered Fetal Dose in Pregnant Women as Compared to External Beam Radiation?

Further research is required to explore the causes underlying this disparity and its effect on patient outcomes. Author Disclosure: P.I. Obasaju: None. P.A.S. Johnstone: None. J. Zook: None. M.
