APBI 2016

Guidelines for APBI in France

• National Guidelines by the “Institut National du Cancer” do not mention APBI as a standard option

• Neither do most local guidelines which recommend the use of APBI only in clinical trials (ex: REMAGUS)

• St Paul de Vence Guidelines (2011): APBI can be performed outside trials provided ASTRO criteria, center expertise and patient informed (www.cngof.fr) • National Cancer Plan 2009-2013: Financial support from the “Institut National du Cancer” to 9 centers in 2013 for IORT (Intrabeam ® , Carl Zeiss) and promotion of the RIOP trial Besnard S.
