Author and Disclosure Information
FROM THE ANNUAL MEETING OF THE AMERICAN SOCIETY OF BREAST SURGEONS
"APBI must ultimately be held to the same standard, and a randomized trial, NSABP [National Surgical Adjuvant Breast and Bowel Project] B-39, directly compares partial breast irradiation (by interstitial catheters, balloon devices, strut-based devices, or external beam) with WBI and promises to better define the ultimate role of APBI."
Dr. Beitsch and Dr. Cody stated that they have no disclosures.
