Recently, various radiation techniques followed by BCS have been reported. We have been investigating “personalized radiotherapy after BCS” ranging from accelerated partial breast irradiation (APBI) to WBI with regional nodal irradiation (RNI) based on the axillary node status. In this study, we compared different cohorts that received personalized radiotherapy. Method: Of 317 consecutive patients who underwent BCS followed by radiotherapy since November 2007, 187 who received APBI and 122 who received WBI were analyzed. Results: The local-only recurrence rate was 1.1% in the APBI group and 3.3% in the WBI group, and the regional-only recurrence rate was 1.1% for APBI and 0.8% for WBI. Conclusions: The clinical efficacy of APBI for local control after BCS was comparable to that of WBI ± RNI. Although this study was based on a small number of patients with a short follow-up period, the feasibility of breast-conserving therapy using multicatheter brachytherapy to achieve acceptable clinical outcomes was demonstrated.展开更多

In this paper, a local differential quadrature （LDQ） method was developed by using irregular distributed nodes, where any spatial derivative at a nodal point is approximated by a linear weighted sum of the functional values of nodes in the local physical domain. The weighting coefficients in the new approach are determined by the quadrature rule with the aid of nodal interpolation. Since the proposed method directly approximates the derivative, it can be consistently well applied to linear and nonlinear problems and the mesh-free feature is still kept. Numerical examples are provided to validate the LDQ method.展开更多
