Reactor Neutrons in Multimodality Treatment of Locally Advanced Breast Carcinoma

Article Preview

Abstract:

We present long-term treatment outcomes of 201 patients with breast carcinoma who received a radical course of radiation therapy as a component of multimodality treatment. Ninety five of them received mixed photon-neutron therapy (the study group), and 106 patients received photon therapy (control group). All patients had stage III breast cancer. The presented data on the mixed photon-neutron therapy prove feasibility of achievement of high efficiency of treatment and satisfactory level of quality of patient’s life. This approach opens additional opportunities for expansion of a scope of neutrons in oncology.
