Abstract P1-09-04: Comparison of length and quality of life (QoL) and the side effects of therapy between breast conserving surgery with intraoperative radiotherapy (TARGIT-IORT) versus mastectomy for in-breast-recurrence of breast cancer
Abstract:Background: Mastectomy is the treatment recommended by most national and international guidelines for in-breast-recurrence of breast cancer after breast conserving surgery (BCS) and external beam radiation therapy (EBRT). In selected cases it is possible to preserve the breast if TARGIT-IORT can be given during the second lumpectomy. We present a comparative analysis of overall survival, QoL and side effects. Methods: We identified patients who had local recurrence of breast cancer after BCS and EBRT in our pr… Show more
