ASTRO studies delve into pre-, post-treatment outcomes for partial-breast irradiation
By Shalmali Pal
A major trial of accelerated partial-breast irradiation (APBI) is currently under way to compare APBI with whole-breast irradiation (WBI) for local tumor control after lumpectomy. 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.

US-based minimally invasive treatments prove feasible for uterine fibroids
By Shalmali Pal
When it comes to the ultrasound-based treatment of uterine fibroids, clinicians should target patients whose benign tumors are not too big or not too small, according to two new studies. Researchers from Italy found that that percutaneous sonography-guided radiofrequency thermal ablation (RFA) was particularly adept at shrinking medium-sized fibroids, while a Japanese team found that MR-guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS) surgery was an optimal therapy option for fibroids with specific characteristics on preoperative imaging.
