Breast cancer with extensive intraductal component: treatment with immediate interstitial boost irradiation.

Extensive intraductal component (EIC) has been reported to have a prominent role in local recurrence after treatment of early-stage breast cancer with lumpectomy and irradiation. Pathologic specimens from 250 breasts (245 patients) treated between June 1982 and June 1990 with lumpectomy, immediate (boost) interstitial iridium-192 to 15-20 Gy, and external-beam irradiation to the entire breast to 45-50 Gy were reviewed. EIC was present in 61 breasts. At a median follow-up period of 58 months (range, 14-110 months), there were 10 recurrences in the 250 treated breasts. Of these 10, three were in patients from the group with EIC. The 10-year actuarial recurrence rates in breasts with and without EIC were 9.1% and 5.2%, respectively. The difference between the two rates was not significant. If an immediate boost with interstitial iridium is used in therapy, the influence of EIC on local failure is insignificant.[1]
