Electronic Brachytherapy
Radiation therapy was delivered using the 510(k) cleared Xoft Axxent System. Accelerated partial breast irradiation is the method of radiation therapy administration that has been commonly used by physicians using Iridium-192, but was FDA cleared for use prior to commencing study enrollment using an electronic source.
