PURPOSE: To give recommendations on patient selection criteria for the use of accelerated
partial-breast irradiation (APBI) based on available clinical evidence complemented by …

PURPOSE: There is no consensus on what constitutes adequate negative margins in breast-
conserving therapy (BCT). We review the evidence on surgical margins in BCT for early …

Background For most older women with early breast cancer, standard treatment after breast-
conserving surgery is adjuvant whole-breast radiotherapy and adjuvant endocrine …

Purpose There is no consensus on what constitutes adequate negative margins in breast-
conserving therapy (BCT). We systematically review the evidence on surgical margins in …

BACKGROUND: Patients receiving breast conservation therapy have a lifelong risk of local
recurrence. To minimize this risk, surgeons have explored various approaches to examining …

As breast cancer screening rates increase, smaller and more numerous lesions are being
identified earlier, leading to more breast-conserving surgical procedures. Achieving a clean …

Purpose Locoregional failure after breast-conserving surgery is associated with increased
risk of distant disease and death. The magnitude of this risk in patients receiving …

We present the first demonstration of in vivo collection of Raman spectra of breast tissue.
Raman spectroscopy, which analyzes molecular vibrations, is a promising new technique for …

PURPOSE: To examine the relationship between pathologic margin status and outcome at 8
years after breast-conserving surgery and radiation therapy. PATIENTS AND METHODS …
