DEBATE Which is the best technique for the delivery of APBI? 10:30 - 11:45 | Ambra 5-6

Great interest is being directed toward Accelerated Partial Breast Irradiation (APBI), compared to whole-breast irradia-tion after breast- conserving surgery, in selected women with early low-risk breast cancer. The aim of this debate is to discuss with experts about the pros and cons of the two main APBI techniques: multicatheter interstitial brachytherapy and external beam radiation therapy. The second part of the session will focus on physics and radiobiology aspects of both techniques, in order to assist personalised decision-making for each patient.

Chair: C. Polgár (Hungary) Co-chair: K. Cao (France)

10:30 > This house believes that the EBRT is the best technique Speaker: C. Coles (United Kingdom) 10:45 > This house believes that the multicatheter brachytherapy is the best technique Speaker: V. Strnad (Germany)
