Imaging for early stage breast cancer

Some remarks

The updated APBI guidelines, by including data from more recent Phase III RCTs, more robustly define a group “suitable” for consideration of APBI The guidelines could be considered by some to be too strict and by others to be too lax, but, as with all guidelines, will need to be evaluated carefully in the context of each patient and her priorities It is important to consider patient age, likely longevity, and the implications of any later increase in locoregional relapse on long-term survival
