Is multi-catheter interstitial brachytherapy
optimal technique for APBI?
• Last decade increased interest in Accelerated
Partial Breast Irradiation (APBI)
• In low risk patients treating the tumour bed alone
may reduce SE without increasing local recurrence
• Fewer treatments and shorter overall treatment
times
• Studies using EBRT have shown increased local
recurrence
