Abstract
Ionizing radiation has a major role in the treatment of breast cancer. For early-stage disease breast conserving surgery (BCS) with axillary or sentinel lymph node dissection followed by whole-breast irradiation is the standard of care. Adjuvant radiotherapy in patients with high risk for locoregional recurrence increases the overall survival, disease-free survival, and local control rates (LCR) [1-4].
