One of the Ivory Towers is instructing APBI patients to "make sure you are being treated in the prone position".
A recent pt whose tumor bed extends to the pectoralis where prone pushed the heart towards the PTV was informed of such.
I instructed the patient that I recommend against prone in her situation and she understood and agreed.
I don't see compelling data that prone APBI provides a clinically significant benefit in all patients.
What am I missing here? Thoughts?
