Abstract

Abstract: Intraoperative radiation therapy (IORT) has been shown to reduce local recurrence rates among women with early‐stage invasive ductal carcinoma, but data regarding its use among women with in situ carcinoma are limited. In this single‐institution study, 50 women with in situ carcinoma were treated with oncoplastic breast‐conserving surgery (OPS) and single‐dose IORT. All 50 patients had "no tumor on ink, " but 9 (16%) had margins < 2 mm and required additional therapy. No local recurrences were observed after a median follow‐up of 46 months. Single‐dose IORT is an efficacious treatment for well‐selected patients with DCIS.
