54. Between 1998 and 2004 258 selected patients with T1 N0-1mi, Grade 1-2, nonlobular breast cancer without presence of extensive intraductal component And resected with negative margins were randomized after breast-conserving surgery 50 Gy/25 fractions WBI either 7 x 5.2 Gy high-dose-rate (HDR) multicatheter brachytherapy or 50 Gy/25 fractions electron beam (EB) irradiation.
55. RESULTS At a median follow-up of 66 months CONCLUSIONS : PBI using interstitial HDR implants or EB to deliver radiation to the tumor bed alone for a selected group of early-stage breast cancer patients produces results similar to those achieved with WBI. Significantly better cosmetic outcome can be achieved with carefully designed HDR multicatheter implants compared with the outcome after WBI. p(WBI/PBI) =0.009. 62.9% 77.6% cosmetic result no significant difference 90.3% 88.3% disease-free survival no significant difference 96.0% 98.3% cancer-specific survival no significant difference 91.8% 94.6% 5-year probability of overall survival p = 0.50 3.4% 4.7% 5-year actuarial rate of local recurrence WBI PBI
