Preliminary ConclusionsPreliminary Conclusions
• These data indicate that NIIGBB is feasible and can be consistently implemented in a broad array of practice settings.
• Preliminary evaluation suggests that NIIGBB is associated with acceptably mild normal tissue toxicity and favorable early cosmetic results.
• The application of NIIGBB before completion of WBRT may be associated with better patient tolerance at the expense of slightly less favorable cosmetic outcome.
