Adjuvant radiotherapy is recommended post breast conserving surgery. Accelerated Partial Breast Irradiation (APBI) offers a more attractive shorter course of treatment over 5 days compared to standard conventional external beam radiotherapy, which is often protracted. Multi-catheter interstitial APBI offers excellent dosimetric coverage. This article describes two insertion techniques for multi-catheter interstitial APBI, the operator dependent freehand technique, and the easier to learn template technique. The indications, benefits, and drawbacks of these two techniques are discussed.
保乳手术后推荐进行辅助放疗。与通常疗程较长的标准传统外照射放疗相比,加速部分乳腺照射(APBI)提供了一个更具吸引力的为期5天的较短疗程。多导管组织间APBI能提供出色的剂量覆盖。本文描述了多导管组织间APBI的两种植入技术,即依赖操作者的徒手技术和更容易学习的模板技术。讨论了这两种技术的适应症、优点和缺点。
