In the randomised TARGIT-A trial, risk-adapted targeted intraoperative radiotherapy (TARGIT-IORT) during lumpectomy was non-inferior to whole-breast external beam radiotherapy, for local recurrence. In the long-term, no difference was found in any breast cancer outcome, whereas there were fewer deaths from non-breast-cancer causes. TARGIT-IORT should be included in pre-operative consultations with eligible patients.
在随机 TARGIT-A 试验中,保乳手术后风险适应的靶向术中放疗(TARGIT-IORT)在局部复发方面不劣于全乳外照射放疗。长期来看,任何乳腺癌结局均无差异,而非乳腺癌原因导致的死亡人数更少。TARGIT-IORT 应纳入适合患者的术前咨询中。
