TARGIT-B: an international randomised controlled trial to compare targeted intra-operative radiotherapy boost with conventional external beam radiotherapy boost after lumpectomy for breast cancer in women with a high risk of local recurrence
This new technique delivers radiotherapy to the tissues at highest risk of recurrence - the tumour bed - at the time of surgery in a single session. Long-term analysis of the first 300 patients treated with this technique found a remarkably low recurrence rate. TARGIT boost will be compared with conventional boost to test its superiority, with the primary outcome local recurrence of cancer at five years.
