“…In surgery, complete gross excision of the primary tumor has been shown to maximize local control (7,8). In postoperative external-beam radiotherapy, application of a 10-or 16-Gy radiation boost to the tumor bed in addition to 50 Gy to the whole breast was found to increase local control (3,9). Conversely, large excision volumes, large boost, and high radiation doses lead to adverse side effects such as fibrosis and poor cosmetic outcome (9,10).…”

“…In postoperative external-beam radiotherapy, application of a 10-or 16-Gy radiation boost to the tumor bed in addition to 50 Gy to the whole breast was found to increase local control (3,9). Conversely, large excision volumes, large boost, and high radiation doses lead to adverse side effects such as fibrosis and poor cosmetic outcome (9,10). In a recent update of the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer boost trial, an additional boost field of 16 Gy on the excision site was shown to increase local control, but reduced cosmetic outcome, especially after 8 years (11).…”

“…Eine kleinräumige Dosisaufsättigung des Primärtumorbettes in der Brust (Boost) kann die Rezidivrate weiter senken. Zwei randomisierte Studien konnten dies belegen [19,20]. Ein Boost wird auf der Basis der Daten für alle prämenopausalen Patientinnen und für postmenopausale Frauen mit hohem Risiko für ein intramammäres Rezidiv empfohlen.…”
