Radiobiological comparison of hypofractionated accelerated partial-breast irradiation (APBI) and single-dose intraoperative radiotherapy (IORT) with 50-kV X-rays

Intraoperative radiotherapy (IORT) of the tumor bed in early breast cancer is presently performed with a single dose of 50-kV X-rays from a miniaturized X-ray machine using spherical applicators. The purpose was to model the biological effect of hypofractionated accelerated partial-breast irradiatio...

Description
Summary:Intraoperative radiotherapy (IORT) of the tumor bed in early breast cancer is presently performed with a single dose of 50-kV X-rays from a miniaturized X-ray machine using spherical applicators. The purpose was to model the biological effect of hypofractionated accelerated partial-breast irradiation (APBI) with ten fractions.
