ASTRO studies delve into pre-, post-treatment outcomes for partial-breast irradiation
By Shalmali Pal

But other researchers have begun using its APBI protocol in their own studies. A group from Ohio looked at the role of breast MRI in managing early breast cancer in patients treated with the APBI protocol, while another U.S. group studied skin toxicity and cosmetic outcome with APBI and chemotherapy, and a third team tested three different image-guidance systems for APBI.
