38 Accelerated Partial Breast Irradiation SUMMARY (1) Results of APBI using IORT (Intrabeam, Linac) are at the moment disappointing negative (2) Results of APBI using IMRT (external beam radiation therapy) are at the moment controversial, published results are negative (3) Results of APBI using multicatheter brachytherapy are current excellent. (4) Selection guidelines for appropriateness of APBI using brachytherapy will need to be constantly refined to reflect the ever-accumulating published results of clinical outcomes. Particular help will come from the recently closed GEC-ESTRO and NSABP B- 39/RTOG 0413 trials.
