There are currently two ways to do Accelerated Partial Breast Irradiation: AccuBoost (a precise form of high dose rate (HDR) brachytherapy done as part of a protocol or off-label use. It can be done twice a day for 5 days, or once daily for 10 consecutive days. The other form is done via external beam radiation therapy, typically intensity modulated radiation therapy, or IMRT.
