Abstract:
What's new? Intraoperative radiotherapy with electrons (IOERT) preceding whole breast irradiation provides favorable long‐term local control rate if adopted in limited‐stage breast cancer patients during breast conserving surgery. Here, the authors examined the value of IOERT in locally advanced breast cancer (LABC) patients after primary systemic treatment compared to the standard procedure. A retrospective analysis was performed for local control rate, locoregional control rate, metastasis‐free survival, disease‐specific survival, and overall survival in both groups. The 6‐year local control rate of 98.5% was by trend superior to standard treatment, and also confirms IOERT as a highly effective boost strategy in patients with LABC.
