Abstract

External Beam Radiation Therapy (EBRT) has been the standard of care for breast conservation radiation therapy, in both Invasive Ductal Carcinoma (IDC) and Ductal Carcinoma In Situ (DCIS). Recent data indicates that Interstitial Implant and High Dose Rate (HDR) radiation afterloading compares favorably to EBRT in selected cases of IDC. There is little data regarding HDR in DCIS. Current ASTRO and American Brachytherapy Society Guidelines consider DCIS an investigational category for primary HDR treatment.
