AbstractObjective To investigate the short-term complications and cosmetic outcomes of radiotherapy in breast conserving surgery for early-stage breast cancer. Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on clinical data from 30 patients with early-stage breast cancer from 2013 to 2015. All patients underwent breast conserving surgery combined with intraoperative low-energy X-ray radiotherapy. The prescribed dose was 20 Gy at the surface of the applicator. Local complications, radiation injury, and cosmetic outcomes were observed after surgery. Results No grade 3-4 adverse reactions were found in patients. In terms of short-term complications, four patients (13%) had seroma, two of whom needed suction treatment;three patients (10%) had grade 1-2 skin erythema. Half of the patients had excellent cosmetic outcomes. None of the patients had local recurrence or distant metastasis. Conclusions Intraoperative low-energy X-ray radiotherapy is safe and feasible in breast conserving surgery for breast cancer. It can be considered as an optional approach for tumor bed boost in some patients with early-stage low-risk breast cancer.
