Novel breast-cancer tumor size classification
2020
Department of Radiation Oncology, Medical Center, University of Freiburg, Freiburg, Germany
The study presents a novel classification for the analysis of patients with pre-irradiated locally recurrent breast cancer that allows for the assessment of chances and limitations of combined hyperthermia / re-irradiation in the treatment of different tumor sizes. Applying this classification for the evaluation of 201 patients with pre-irradiated tumors allowed for stratification into distinct prognostic groups, thus helping to guide the decision between curative and palliative intent.
