“…Unlike similar research, we did not found risk factors for the increase of parenchymal breast oedema, expressed by increased elasticity ratio in this study, except for bigger preoperative bra cup size 3,6,10,12,13. All patients had an increased mean elasticity ratio in the operated and irradiated breast, except for patients with preoperative A cup.…”

Background.Lymphoedema of the operated and irradiated breast is a common complication following early breast cancer treatment. There is no consensus on objective diagnostic criteria and standard measurement tools. This study investigates the use of ultrasound elastography as an objective quantitative measurement tool for the diagnosis of parenchymal breast oedema.Patients and methods.The elasticity ratio of the subcutis, measured with ultrasound elastography, was compared with high-frequency ultrasound parameters and subjective symptoms in twenty patients, bilaterally, prior to and following breast conserving surgery and breast irradiation.Results.Elasticity ratio of the subcutis of the operated breast following radiation therapy increased in 88.9% of patients, was significantly higher than prior to surgery, unlike the non operated breast and significantly higher than the non operated breast, unlike preoperative results. These results were significantly correlated with visibility of the echogenic line, measured with high-frequency ultrasound. Big preoperative bra cup size was a significant risk factor for the development of breast oedema.Conclusions.Ultrasound elastography is an objective quantitative measurement tool for the diagnosis of parenchymal breast oedema, in combination with other objective diagnostic criteria. Further research with longer follow-up and more patients is necessary to confirm our findings.

“…RT of ≥ 40Gy may lead to a significant increase in breast volume due to tissue reactions with an oedema, but breast irradiation itself does not initiate cutaneous oedema unless other predisposing or aggravating factors are present 13,14. Breast irradiation does cause sclerosis of the skin, late post RT.…”

“…Insbesondere die Kombination mit Photonenfeldern [7,16], intensitätsmodulierte Elektronenfelder oder aber auch die intraoperative Anwendung [12,14] sind dabei von Interesse. Während für singuläre Elektronenfelder in vielen Fällen einfache Bestrahlungstabellen noch ausreichend sein mögen, ist eine 3-D-Dosisberechnung für komplexe Anwendungen unverzichtbar.…”

Volumetrische Veränderungen der Mamma während der Radiotherapie

Abstract: As radiotherapy may lead to a significant increase in breast volume, it seems appropriate to perform a second planning CT after about 40 Gy in order to optimize dose distribution for boost irradiation.
