Abstract
Purpose: Breast cancer (BC) is the most prevalent cancer in women and radiotherapy (RT) is an integral part of its treatment. High-level evidence guides clinical decisions, but given the abundance of guidelines, a need to navigate within the evidence has been identified by the board of the Scientific Association of Swiss Radiation Oncology (SASRO). A pilot project was initiated aiming to create an overview of recent clinically relevant evidence for BC RT, to make it easily available to (radiation) oncologists and radiation oncologists in training.
Methods: A panel of 10 radiation oncology experts for BC RT, one expert in BC surgery, and one expert in BC medical oncology critically reviewed the relevant literature. The panel comprehensively represented different geographical regions of Switzerland as well as university, cantonal, and private institutions. We sought to create a consensual overview of the most relevant questions in BC RT today, accompanied by the most recent and relevant available evidence.
Results: From January 2023 to January 2024, the panel met four times to review and work on an initial draft. The final draft was reviewed and accepted by all panelists. We hereby publish this work to make it available to international audiences. After publication, the work will be made available to all SASRO members on the SASRO website. This work is to be updated every 2 years.
Conclusion: The identified need was addressed with a successful pilot project and will be further expanded upon in other tumor pathologies.
期刊介绍：
Strahlentherapie und Onkologie, published monthly, is a scientific journal that covers all aspects of oncology with focus on radiooncology, radiation biology and radiation physics. The articles are not only of interest to radiooncologists but to all physicians interested in oncology, to radiation biologists and radiation physicists. The journal publishes original articles, review articles and case studies that are peer-reviewed. It includes scientific short communications as well as a literature review with annotated articles that inform the reader on new developments in the various disciplines concerned and hence allow for a sound overview on the latest results in radiooncology research.
Founded in 1912, Strahlentherapie und Onkologie is the oldest oncological journal in the world. Today, contributions are published in English and German. All articles have English summaries and legends. The journal is the official publication of several scientific radiooncological societies and publishes the relevant communications of these societies.
