Official Title: TARGIT-E(Elderly) Prospective Phase II Study of Intraoperative Radiotherapy (IORT) in Elderly Patients With Small Breast Cancer

Brief Summary: This prospective, multicentric single arm phase II study is based on the protocol of the international TARGIT-A study. The purpose is to investigate the efficacy of a single intraoperative radiotherapy treatment within elderly low risk patients (≥ 70 years, cT1, cN0, cM0, invasive-ductal) which is followed by WBRT only when risk factors are present. In presence of risk factors postoperative WBRT will be added to complete the radiotherapeutic treatment according to international guidelines.
