We favor APBI like the Florence regimen but if technically not suitable, then FAST-Forward.

I offer all three (APBI, FAST, FAST-Forward) based on eligibility and let the patient decide.

Answer from: Radiation Oncologist at Community Practice
APBI is an excellent option for eligible patients. If they are not eligible for APBI by criteria, but they would qualify for FAST/FAST-Forward, I always prefer the FAST-Forward regimen, especially for patients coming from a distance.
