TL;DR: Ten years after treatment, accelerated, hypofractionated whole-breast irradiation was not inferior to standard radiation treatment in women who had undergone breast-conserving surgery for invasive breast cancer with clear surgical margins and negative axillary nodes.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The more convenient 22-day fractionation schedule appears to be an acceptable alternative to the 35-day schedule in reducing recurrence of invasive breast cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: 3D-CRT APBI increased rates of adverse cosmesis and late radiation toxicity compared with standard WBI, and Clinicians and patients are cautioned against the use of 3D- CRTAPBI outside the context of a controlled trial.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: External beam APBI was non-inferior to whole breast irradiation in preventing ipsilateral breast tumour recurrence (IBTR), analysed by intention to treat and less acute toxicity was observed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Serial Plasma Osteopontin Levels Have Prognostic Value in Metastatic Breast Cancer
Vivien H.C. Bramwell,Gordon S. Doig,Alan B. Tuck,Sylvia M. Wilson,Katia Tonkin,Anna Tomiak,Francisco Perera,Theodore A. Vandenberg,Ann F. Chambers +8 more
TL;DR: This is the first study to show that in women with metastatic breast cancer, increases in osteopontin levels over time are strongly associated with poor survival.
