Is there role for partial breast radiation in a small <1cm low to intermediate grade DCIS with widely negative margins?

Would you offer APBI if the DCIS was ER-?

Answer from: Radiation Oncologist at Community Practice

If deciding on RT for low risk like the above, then APBI is an option along with whole breast RT with similar efficacy.
