Would you consider partial breast reirradiation in an otherwise healthy elderly patient with a distant history of BCS+RT, now with a clinical stage I triple negative IDC?

Topics: Breast Cancer • Radiation Oncology

Patient is declining mastectomy.

Answer from: Radiation Oncologist at Academic Institution

In a situation where the patient is declining mastectomy, I would consider partial breast reirradiation per RTOG 1014 while counseling the patient there are limited triple negative patients that have been treated with such an approach.
