[Second breast conserving surgery and interstitial radiotherapy for the treatment of breast tumor local recurrences. Five-year results].

CONCLUSION: Second breast conserving therapy with perioperative high-dose-rate interstitial brachytherapy is a safe and feasible option for the management of ipsilateral breast tumor recurrences. Interstitial brachytherapy may decrease the risk of second local relapse with acceptable cosmetic results and low rate of late side effects. Hence, in selected cases it can provide a feasible alternative to salvage mastectomy. Orv Hetil. 2018; 159(11): 430-438.
