The role of NSM is still controversial, mainly because of concern about the oncologic safety of the nipple-areola complex (NAC).INTRABEAM (Carl Zeiss, Oberkochen, Germany) is the most widely used mobile intraoperative radiotherapy (IORT) device to date. This study aims to assess the value of the INTRABEAM system for breast cancer.
Despite the advancement and increasing use of nipple-sparing mastectomy (NSM) is still carried out in a portion of breast cancer patients. However, the role of NSM is still controversial, mainly because of concern about the oncologic safety of the nipple-areola complex (NAC). Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells. Giving radiation during surgery followed by external-beam radiation to the entire breast may kill more tumor cells.INTRABEAM (Carl Zeiss, Oberkochen, Germany) is the most widely used mobile intraoperative radiotherapy (IORT) device to date. This study aims to broaden the application of the INTRABEAM system for breast cancer, investigating the feasibility of INTRABEAM IORT in NSM with breast reconstruction.

RECRUITINGIpsilateral breast tumor recurrence rate after surgery within five years
Within 5 years after surgery,we should evaluate ipsilateral breast tumor recurrence and Disease free survival as the most important outcome measure
Time frame: Within 5 years after surgery
Disease free survival after surgery within five years
Within 5 years after adjuvant chemotherapy,we should evaluateDisease free survival(DFS) rates as thet important outcome measure.
Time frame: Within 5 years after surgery
Overall survival after surgery within ten years
After surgery,we should evaluate overall survival (OR)rates as the secondary important outcome measure.
Time frame: Within ten years after surgery
