Abstract
The use of brachytherapy-and to a lesser extent, external-beam radiotherapy-in the management of locally recurrent breast cancer following ipsilateral breast tumor recurrence (IBTR) followed by repeat breast-conservation surgery and irradiation is currently an area of intense study. The current cosmetic scoring system is inadequate to score the outcome resulting from retreatment because it does not account for the cosmetic effect of the initial treatment. We propose a modification of the scale for patients who undergo retreatment-the Allegheny General Modification of the Harvard/NSABP/RTOG scoring scale.
