With a prior breast augmentation, I would not offer FAST-Forward regimen given the lack of data. I am not aware of data with the regimen and breast augmentation.

There is no data but by rationale, outcome may be similar. No matter what fractionation we use, there is increased risk of contracture and poor cosmetic outcome. For that reason, I prefer APBI if disease is suitable to decrease exposure and reduce risk of worsening of cosmetic outcome.
