Actual (reported)Number of Patients With Local Recurrence
The follow-up was carried out every six months for the first two years, and then once a year. The follow-up always included a mammography in addition to a clinical examination. Kaplan-Meier-estimates were done to calculate the local recurrence rate
5 years
Percentage of Patients With Chronic Higher Grade Fibrosis After IORT Boost
84 months
Boost with 20 Gy during BCS, EBRT with 46-50 Gy
Intraoperative radiotherapy with the INTRABEAM System with 20 Gy
Registry-reported names are shown in full. Names without a link have not yet been matched to a Syfrah profile.
All patients with breast cancer and a tumor diameter \< 3,5 cm plannend for breast conserving surgery. Intraoperative radiotherapy (IORT) is applied as an advanced boost with 20 Gy at the applicator surface during surgery. Its feasibility was already shown. IORT as a boost is considered as one of several boost techniques in the S3-Leitlinie (national guideline) for breast cancer.

902 patients were available for any analysis. Be aware that 8 patients with both sided cancers were included. So there were 910 affected breasts in 902 patients.
