Whole breast irradiation (WBI) is the standard after breast conservation surgery. However, WBI in selected patients has been questioned. Accelerated partial breast irradiation (APBI) focuses treatment on the lumpectomy bed. Many modalities of delivering APBI have been developed: multicatheter interstitial brachytherapy, MammoSite balloon catheter, single insertion multicatheter devices, three-dimensional conformal external-beam radiation therapy and intraoperative techniques. Numerous studies of APBI have demonstrated excellent local control and cosmetic outcomes in early-stage breast cancer patients.
全乳放疗（WBI）是保乳手术后的标准治疗方法。然而，对于某些患者，WBI 的应用存在争议。加速部分乳腺放疗（APBI）将治疗集中在乳房肿瘤切除术的部位。目前已经开发出多种 APBI 治疗方式，包括多导管间质近距离放疗、MammoSite 球囊导管、单插入多导管装置、三维适形外照射放疗和术中技术。大量的 APBI 研究表明，在早期乳腺癌患者中，APBI 可获得良好的局部控制和美容效果。
