Brachytherapy 2024; 23:335-341. [PMID: 38383205 DOI: 10.1016/j.brachy.2023.12.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/04/2023] [Revised: 12/18/2023] [Accepted: 12/31/2023] [Indexed: 02/23/2024]
Abstract
PURPOSE For second ipsilateral breast tumor event (2ndIBTE), conservative treatment (CT) involving wide local excision plus accelerated partial breast reirradiation (APBrI) is increasingly used as an alternative to mastectomy. This study investigates the impact of APBrI technique and multicatheter interstitial high dose-rate brachytherapy (MIB) dosimetry parameters on toxicity and survival in patients with 2ndIBTE. MATERIALS-METHODS Data from patients with 2ndIBTE treated with CT, were analyzed. Inclusion criteria specified 2ndIBTE occurring at least one year after 1st CT for primary breast cancer. Treatment details and dosimetry parameters were recorded. Primary endpoint was late toxicity. Secondary endpoints were late toxicity prognostic factors analysis and oncological outcome. RESULTS From 07/2005 and 07/2023, 201 patients (pts) received 2nd CT. With a median follow-up of 49.6 months (44.9-59.5), tumor size was less than 2 cm (88.1%), with estrogen receptor positive (92.7%). Patients were low (63.7%) or intermediate (29.8%) GEC-ESTRO APBI risk classification. Late toxicities were observed in 34.8% (G1 52.3%, G2 40.7%). Cutaneous fibrosis was the most common toxicity. Cosmetic outcomes were excellent in 64.1%. Dosimetry analysis revealed positive correlations between complications and absolute volumes of CTV, V100, V150, and V200. Volumes requiring higher needle number and lower DNR resulted in fewer complications. 5-year disease-free and overall survival were 88% and 95% respectively. CONCLUSION Second CT for 2ndIBTE showed favorable oncological outcomes and survival rates. Complications were correlated with specific dosimetric parameters, emphasizing the importance of tailored treatment planning. This study provides valuable insights in risk stratification and MIB optimization for APBrI.

Abstract
The European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Clinical Practice Guidelines for the diagnosis, treatment and follow-up of patients with early breast cancer were updated and published online in 2023, and adapted, according to previously established standard methodology, to produce the Pan-Asian adapted (PAGA) ESMO consensus guidelines for the management of Asian patients with early breast cancer. The adapted guidelines presented in this manuscript represent the consensus opinions reached by a panel of Asian experts in the treatment of patients with breast cancer representing the oncological societies of China (CSCO), Indonesia (ISHMO), India (ISMPO), Japan (JSMO), Korea (KSMO), Malaysia (MOS), the Philippines (PSMO), Singapore (SSO), Taiwan (TOS) and Thailand (TSCO), co-ordinated by ESMO and KSMO. The voting was based on scientific evidence and was independent of the current treatment practices, drug access restrictions and reimbursement decisions in the different Asian regions represented by the 10 oncological societies. The latter are discussed separately in the manuscript. The aim is to provide guidance for the optimisation and harmonisation of the management of patients with early breast cancer across the different regions of Asia, drawing on the evidence provided by both Western and Asian trials, whilst respecting the differences in screening practices, molecular profiling, as well as the age and stage at presentation. Attention is drawn to the disparity in the drug approvals and reimbursement strategies, between the different regions of Asia.

Very accelerated partial breast irradiation in 1 or 2 days: Late toxicity and early oncological outcome of the GEC-ESTRO VAPBI cohort. Radiother Oncol 2024; 194:110217. [PMID: 38460552 DOI: 10.1016/j.radonc.2024.110217] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/06/2024] [Revised: 03/05/2024] [Accepted: 03/05/2024] [Indexed: 03/11/2024]
Abstract
PURPOSE To analyze late toxicity after very accelerated partial breast irradiation (VAPBI) for low-risk breast cancer. MATERIALS Methods: In this retrospective, observational, international multicenter study (HDH F20220713143949), patients with low-risk breast cancer underwent lumpectomy + vAPBI (high-dose rate multicatheter interstitial brachytherapy-MIBT). VAPBI was performed with 4(4x6.2 Gy/2d), 3(3x7.45 Gy/2d) or 1 fraction (1x16Gy or 1x18Gy/1d). Primary endpoint was late toxicity. Secondary endpoints were cumulative incidence of breast cancer local relapse (LR) and distant metastatic relapse (DMR) and specific (SS) and overall (OS) survivals. Prognostic factors for late toxicity were analyzed. RESULTS From 01/2012 to 06/2022, 516 pts with early breast cancer were enrolled. Median follow-up was 44 months [95 %CI 39-46]. Median age was 71 years [40-100]. Median tumor size was 12 mm [1-35]. VAPBI delivered 1, 3 and 4 fractions for 205pts (39.7 %), 167pts (32.4 %) and 144pts (28 %) respectively. 221 late toxicity events were observed in 168pts (32.6 %) (Fibrosis, dyschromia, pain and telangiectasia). Grade 2 and 3 late toxicities were observed in 7.2 and 0.6 % respectively (no G4) with no difference between 1 and ≥ 2 treatment days. CTV > 50 cc (p = 0.007) and V150 > 40 % (p = 0.027) were prognostic factors for G ≥ 2 late toxicity. Four-year cumulative incidence rates of LR and DMR were 2 % [95 %CI 0-3] and 1 % [95 %CI 0-2] respectively. CONCLUSIONS VAPBI based on 1 or ≥ 2 days of MIBT represents an attractive de-escalation of irradiation approach for low-risk breast cancer. Late toxicity profile appears acceptable while early oncological outcome shows encouraging local control. Longer follow-up is warranted in order to confirm these preliminary results.

Hannoun-Levi JM, Gautier M, Rizzi Y, Razzouk K. Workflow optimization of brachytherapy-based very accelerated partial breast irradiation. Brachytherapy 2023; 22:491-495. [PMID: 37164824 DOI: 10.1016/j.brachy.2023.04.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/10/2023] [Revised: 04/08/2023] [Accepted: 04/11/2023] [Indexed: 05/12/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE For low-risk breast cancer, accelerated partial breast irradiation (APBI) is a level 1 evidence procedure. Brachytherapy based very APBI (vAPBI) makes it possible to perform adjuvant irradiation in 4 to 1 fraction. However, vAPBI organization is critical. The aim of this technical note is to report on its optimization. METHODS AND MATERIALS To offer to low-risk breast cancer patient an efficient, simple, rapid adjuvant irradiation with a reduced number of hospital visits, a new organization of vAPBI based on a single fraction was established, merging all the different steps (from first consultation to irradiation) into a 4-5-consecutive-hour period. This therapeutic program was developed in strong collaboration with radiation oncologists, medical physicists, radiation therapists, and the medical secretary. RESULTS After the validation of adjuvant breast irradiation, the patient was offered a telemedicine consultation with the radiation oncologist. Then, the day of vAPBI, the patient arrived at the brachytherapy unit at 08:00 AM for an in-person consultation followed by a preimplant CT scan (defining catheter number and position). After breast local anesthesia, catheter placement was performed followed by a postimplant CT scan for planning purposes. A total dose of 16 Gy in 1 fraction was delivered before removing the catheters. The patient was discharged from the brachytherapy unit around 12:30 PM with an upcoming surveillance consultation date. CONCLUSIONS VAPBI organization optimization makes it possible to propose a short 5-h procedure from medical consultation to treatment with only one round trip. Strict organization among staff is required.

Partial breast irradiation: An updated consensus statement from the American brachytherapy society. Brachytherapy 2022; 21:726-747. [PMID: 36117086 DOI: 10.1016/j.brachy.2022.07.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/26/2022] [Revised: 06/15/2022] [Accepted: 07/06/2022] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE In recent years, results with mature follow-up have been reported for several Phase III trials randomizing women to receive whole breast irradiation (WBI) versus varying modalities of partial breast irradiation (PBI). It is important to recognize that these methods vary in terms of volume of breast tissue treated, dose per fraction, and duration of therapy. As such, clinical and technical guidelines may vary among the various PBI techniques. METHODS Members of the American Brachytherapy Society with expertise in PBI performed an extensive literature review focusing on the highest quality data available for the numerous PBI options offered in the modern era. Data were evaluated for strength of evidence and published outcomes were assessed. RESULTS The majority of women enrolled on randomized trials of WBI versus PBI have been age >45 years with tumor size <3 cm, negative margins, and negative lymph nodes. The panel also concluded that PBI can be offered to selected women with estrogen receptor negative and/or Her2 amplified breast cancer, as well as ductal carcinoma in situ, and should generally be avoided in women with extensive lymphovascular space invasion. CONCLUSIONS This updated guideline summarizes published clinical trials of PBI methods. The panel also highlights the role of PBI for women facing special circumstances, such as history of cosmetic breast augmentation or prior breast irradiation, and discusses promising novel modalities that are currently under study, such as ultrashort and preoperative PBI. Updated consensus guidelines are also provided to inform patient selection for PBI and to characterize the strength of evidence to support varying PBI modalities.
