ABSTRACT
Introduction. The dose administered to the tumour bed is a risk-factor for local recurrence in localised breast cancer following breast-conserving surgery. Materials and Methods. All patients (n=94) received 50 Gy external beam radiotherapy and one application of 700 cGy at 85% isodose with high dose rate brachytherapy. Results. Of the cases, 84% were infiltrating ductal carcinoma; 31.2% were G3; 28% were intraductal component > 25%; 54% had margin 3 cm (p = 0.001), irradiation volume with external beam radiotherapy (p = 0.0001), and presence of local recurrence (p = 0.001). Conclusion. High dose rate brachytherapy is an effective method for reducing local recurrence, and increasing local control
