Conclusion, RAPID
3D CRT APBI increases rates of adverse cosmesis and late RT toxicity
compared with standard WBI
3D CRT APBI should not take place outside clinical trial
Randomized Trial of Accelerated Partial Breast Irradiation,
The RAPID trial
Strenghts
Randomised
This interim analysis reports the most robust data on cosmesis from a 3D CRT
APBI trial
Patients, nurses and doctors reported similar results
Limitations
Short follow up
Further studies are needed to identify characteristics in patients who are well
treated with 3D CRT APBI
