Purpose or Objective

Intraoperative radiotherapy (IORT) can be used as a technique of tumour bed overimpression in patients with molecular profile early stage high-risk breast cancer (Her2+ and Triple Negative) in whom initial surgical treatment is performed. This technique is considered an option for local treatment until completion of external radiotherapy, once systemic therapy has been completed, with an impact on local control of the disease. Our objective is to analyse local control and toxicity.

Material and Methods

From a total of 707 patients treated between May 2015 and May 2021 with IORT in our community, 31 patients received initial treatment as boost, delivering a single dose of 20Gy using 50 kV X-rays. Subsequently, this was completed with hypofractionated hologlandular external beam radiotherapy. We analysed demographic, surgical, radiotherapeutic and local control data.

Results

The mean age was 67 years. All tumours were infiltrating ductal carcinoma with a mean size of 14.53mm.  77.42% (n=24) were Triple Negative, 19.35% (n=6) Luminal B-HER2+ and 3.22% (n=1) pure Her2.

The mean IORT administration time was 9.8 minutes. Adjuvant glandular radiotherapy was performed with a median interval of 6.6 months during which systemic treatment was given. The adjuvant fractionation schedules used were 40.05Gy in 15 sessions in 62.5% and 26Gy in 5 sessions in 37.5%.

At a median follow-up of 25 months, there was no acute or chronic toxicity > G2, and no local or distant relapses have been observed.

Conclusion

The application of IORT as an overimpression of the tumour bed in patients with early stage breast cancer and poor prognostic subtypes allows to secure the bed until other adjuvant therapies are given. A comparison between boost administration with IORT vs. integrated with external beam radiotherapy in these patients would remain to be done in the future.
