Radiation therapy in the management of primary breast cancer.

Since 1960, six cancer centers in France have used radiotherapy alone (with or without tumorectomy) in the treatment of "operable" breast carcinomas. The technique at Hopital Henri Mondor (Creteil) includes a basic irradiation of 5,000 rad to the breast, 4,500 rad to the chest wall, and 4,500 rad to the axillary, supraclavicular, and internal mammary nodal areas. Boost doses of 1,500-2,500 rad to the axillary and internal mammary nodes are given with electrons. A boost dose of 4,000 rad is given to the primary tumor site in the breast by endocureitherapy. Results appear equivalent to those obtained with surgical techniques. Esthetic results are, on the whole, satisfactory. Definitive results will be reported several years hence.

[Semi continuous low rate irradiation by telecobalt (author's transl)].

The current status of knowledge regarding low rate telecobalt irradiation does not permit any definitive conclusions. However, it has shown that this technique of irradiation, on condition that it is given in two fractions separated by three weeks, is without major risk for healthy tissue, the tolerance of skin being particularly remarkable, and with immediate very satisfactory results on the tumour. Strict statistical comparison will be necessary, however, if a final judgment is to be made. Thus a study group of the O.E.R.T.C. has decided to undertake a comparative study between classical fractioned irradiation and semi-continuous low rate irradiation. The trial involves only cancers of the base of the tongue he has began in January 1976.
