Accelerated partial breast irradiation for pure ductal carcinoma in situ.
To report outcomes for ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) treated with breast-conserving therapy using accelerated partial breast irradiation (APBI). ⋯ APBI as part of breast-conserving therapy for pure DCIS was associated with excellent local control and survival rates, with the vast majority of patients having good to excellent cosmesis. This finding supports the recent analysis by the American Society of Breast Surgeons on a subset of DCIS patients treated efficaciously with APBI.
