The extent of positivity of the final excision margin in relationship to other relevant factors was evaluated as a predictor for local recurrence after breast conservation therapy (BCT). As part of an institutional practice policy for BCT in 509 stage I/II breast carcinomas, 105 cases had a final ex
Background: Although recurrent breast cancer is a systemic disease, there might be several exceptions where local treatment has a favorable outcome. Methods: From 1989 to 1996, 15 patients underwent full thickness chest wall resection, supported by peri-and postoperative systemic treatments for pati
## Background and Objectives: The commonest site of local breast recurrence after breast conservation surgery is the primary tumor bed. We have tested the feasibility of outpatient high dose rate brachytherapy to the primary tumor bed as the only radiation. Our technique relies on the placement of
