Toxicity and clinical outcomes of partial breast irradiation compared to whole breast irradiation for early-stage breast cancer: a systematic review and meta-analysis

The balance between benefit and risk of PBI appears optimal for women with smaller hormone receptor positive tumors, without nodal involvement and treated with EBRT.
