Dr. Isaac’s June 7 talk addressed recurrence rates in Accelerated Partial Breast Irradiation (APBI) patients at Monongahela Valley Hospital. APBI is used for early stage breast cancer treatment and current data that looks retrospectively at recurrence rates for large facilities. The MVH team looked at 135 patients treated from 2011-2017 and noted that 100 percent of the people had local, regional and distant control or 100 percent of the people had no recurrence for these procedures.
