Abstract

Purpose: Accelerated partial breast irradiation (APBI) in selected patients with early breast cancer reduces the overall time of treatment to one week compared to the conventional six week course of radiation therapy in women pursuing breast conservation treatment. Our purpose is to present the results of APBI using the MammoSite system in patients treated in a single institution in a prospective study in reference to patient acceptance and quality of care.
