Abstract
Purpose: Breast augmentation has been one of the most common surgical procedures in the US for the past 20 years with an average of 320,000 cases per year. Many of these women are being diagnosed with breast cancer as they age. The reported rate of capsular contracture with whole breast irradiation is 55%, resulting in many mastectomies for early stage disease. Brachytherapy has the advantage of limited radiation exposure to the implant. We report mature data on 320 women treated between 2001-2021.
