Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women. In France, breast cancer incidence was 88.9 per 100,000 women in 2000. Early detection of breast tumours by screening mammography allows a breast conserving treatment, i.e., breast irradiation preceded by a lumpectomy and a sentinel node biopsy. The standard irradiation of early breast cancers consists in delivering 50 Gy to the whole breast in 2 Gy fractions over a five-week period followed by an additional dose targeting the tumour bed of 16 Gy in eight fractions. The 3D-conformal treatment planning optimizes dose distribution to the whole breast and to the tumour bed and lessens the normal tissue irradiation (heart and ipsilateral lung). The aim of this article is to describe epidemiologic, radio anatomic and prognostic features of early stage breast cancer and to propose guidelines for 3D-conformal treatment planning in early breast cancers. This review is illustrated by a case report.
