125 cases of recurrent breast carcinoma (skin nodules or regional lymphnodes) after the primary radical treatment have been treated from 1975 to 1980. Most of these patients were irradiated with 6 MeV electron beams at 50-65 Gy; some of them with 20 MeV electrons. A complete response followed in 68% of lesions, a partial response in 23.2%. The survival at 5 and 10 years was respectively 25.6% and 8.8%. Low energy electron beam therapy is therefore an efficient way of treating loco-regional recurrences of breast carcinoma, after the failure of a radical primary treatment.

D004583 Electrons Stable elementary particles having the smallest known negative charge, present in all elements; also called negatrons. Positively charged electrons are called positrons. The numbers, energies and arrangement of electrons around atomic nuclei determine the chemical identities of elements. Beams of electrons are called CATHODE RAYS.
