Abstract

Purpose: Accelerated partial breast irradiation (APBI) is an adjuvant treatment option for select patients following partial mastectomy for early-stage breast cancer. Multiple APBI techniques have been described for both external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) and high dose rate (HDR) brachytherapy. Given the differences in these treatment techniques, we aimed to compare radiation dose to adjacent organs at risk (OARs) between 8 fraction HDR multicatheter interstitial brachytherapy and 5 fraction external beam intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT).
