SAN FRANCISCO, (BUSINESS WIRE) -- A recent study on a sophisticated form of radiation treatment for breast cancer is inaccurate and has caused unnecessary concern among many patients, according to four top physician researchers.
Their target is a controversial study on breast brachytherapy, which is also known as accelerated partial breast irradiation (APBI). The data by some MD Anderson (MDA) Cancer Center researchers was presented at the recent San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium.
The doctors challenged the data -- and reassured APBI patients -- during a press teleconference they organized to express their concerns about the study. The participating physicians included:
-- Robert Kuske, MD, (Scottsdale, AZ) Co-Principal Investigator, NSABP B-39 study comparing five-day APBI to six-week whole breast irradiation
-- Peter D. Beitsch, MD, FACS, (Dallas, TX) Co-Principal Investigator of the American Society of Breast Surgeons' MammoSite Registry
-- Jayant Vaidya, MD, (London, U.K.), pioneer of targeted intraoperative radiotherapy (IORT)
-- Rakesh Patel, MD, (Pleasanton, CA), Chairman, American Brachytherapy Society
The San Antonio abstract claimed an older form of APBI was associated with increased toxicity and higher rates of subsequent mastectomy in Medicare patients, compared with standard whole breast irradiation (WBI).
