| Core Tip |
The adjuvant radiotherapy for early breast cancer after lumpectomy is an established treatment. Hypofractionation is an attractive approach and the trend nowadays towards new techniques involving hypofractionation is huge, mainly due to the long waiting lists, patients’ desire for fast treatment, better planning of radiotherapy with computed tomography-based target definition and better dose homogeneity assured by 3D conformal planning. The aim of the current study is to evaluate the potential effect of previous chemotherapy to the acute skin toxicity and the local control followed for 2 years in patients with breast cancer, treated with hypofractionated radiotherapy regimen. |
