Intensity Modulated Radiotherapy (IMRT) vs. 3D-conformal Accelerated Partial Breast Irradiation (APBI) for Early Stage Breast Cancer After Lumpectomy (NCT01185132)
A Phase III Randomized Study Comparing Intensity Modulated Planning Versus 3-Dimensional Planning for Accelerated Partial Breast Radiotherapy
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
In the setting of radiotherapy as part of breast-conservation therapy for patients with early stage breast cancer, the novel planning and delivery method of intensity modulated radiotherapy is an effective and safe alternative to the commonly-used standard 3D-conformal external beam radiotherapy, spares more normal breast and lung tissue, and may lead to improved clinical outcomes.
