Title: Interstitial high-dose-rate brachytherapy for ductal carcinoma in situ of the breast: Median 5-year followup of 44 cases using multicatheter technique
Abstract: Purpose: External beam radiation therapy (EBRT) has been the standard of care for breast conservation radiation therapy, in both invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC) and ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS). Recent data indicates that interstitial implant and high-dose-rate (HDR) radiation afterloading compares very favorably to EBRT in selected cases of IDC. There are little data regarding HDR in DCIS. We report our HDR results in 44 patients with DCIS.
