Abstract P3-12-11: One-year follow-up results of a multi-center trial of intra-operative radiation therapy using electronic brachytherapy at the time of breast conservation surgery for early stage breast cancer

Conclusions: IORT using the Xoft System as part of the conservative treatment of breast cancer is safe, with low morbidity. Early results from this multi-center trial demonstrate this short, convenient course of radiation therapy for select patients with early stage breast cancer has excellent-to-good cosmetic results and a low rate of low-grade adverse events.Citation Format: Syed AMN, Chang H, Schwartzberg BS, Bremner AK, Lopez-Penalver C, Coomer C, Boylan S, Chakravarthy A, Vito CA, Bhatnagar A, Proulx GM, Dooley WC, Davis M, Golder SL, Ivanov O, Fernandez K, Rahman S.
