Accelerated Partial Breast Irradiation Via the Mammosite Catheter: Preliminary Reports of a Single-Institution Experience
The Breast Journal, 11/03/09
Guenzi M et al. – Accelerated partial breast irradiation using the MammoSite catheter produces favorable short–term outcomes, limited toxic effects on skin, and optimal cosmetic results. Patient tolerance for the treatment is very high. Critical issues may regard the importance of good cavity conformance and adequate balloon–skin distance in avoiding possible dose excesses to the skin. For a selected patient group, this could be a valid alternative to conventional whole breast irradiation.
