Shaitelman, Simona F.
- Abstract
The author comments on a study which examined the growing utilization of accelerated partial breast irradiation (APBiB) using brachytherapy across the U.S. According to the author, there is a need to analyze recent trends in APBI use and whether changes in remuneration are assocaited with the delivery of APBI. He points out the study's failure to provide clarification on the validity of the American Society of Radiation Oncology (ASTRO) consensus statement regarding APBI.
