Partial breast irradiation in DCIS
•
DCIS is considered suitable for PBI, if acc. to RTOG 9804 low risk:
•
Screen-detected, Grade 1-2, ≤ 2.5 cm, free margins ≥ 3 mm
•
IBTR risk w/o RT: 6.7% at 7.2 yr (RTOG 9804)
•
IBTR risk w/o RT: 14.2% at 12 yr (ECOG E 5194)
•
Applying these criteria to APBI with mammosite:
•
40 patients: 5 yr risk IBTR 0%
•
Pooled analysis DCIS treated with mammosite:
•
300 patients, 5 yr IBTR 2.5%
“These patients could also be offered endocrine Rx or observation alone”
•
RCTs PBI vs WBRT for DCIS are underway..!
