Perioperative accelerated partial breast irradiation with multicatheter interstitial brachytherapy is an alternative to the postoperative option that offers advantages in terms of specificity and comfort for patients as it avoids a second procedure. Since the simulation CT scan is performed 48 hours after the intervention, immediate tissue changes as air gaps can occasionally be observed. To our knowledge, there is no literature published on this regard, so the aim of this study was to assess the impact of significant air gaps when planning and treating multicatheter perioperative breast cancer brachytherapy.
