Abstract in brief

  • TARGITIORT is a targeted radiation therapy done immediately after lumpectomy for breast cancer, which has been used globally since 1998, treating over 44,700 women across 35 countries, and offering benefits like reduced travel, lower carbon footprint, and fewer non-cancer deaths.
  • It is as effective as traditional whole-breast radiotherapy, but with fewer risks of death from causes unrelated to breast cancer, making it a better option for patients and healthcare systems.
  • The TARGITIORT website provides maps and tools to help patients find the nearest treatment centers, highlighting significant travel savings of about 20 million miles and an estimated prevention of 2,000 non-breast cancer deaths.]

@Rad_Nation @ElenaSperk A2: If one now believes that ‘no tumour on ink’ is no worse than 1mm margin, then we could reasonably accept a ‘a negative margin’ as adequate enough to avoid supplemental EBRT. https://t.co/WvCo6ZpKws https://t.co/0aGrKqb9Xt #radonc #jc #bcsm
