Abstract
Radiation therapy is used increasingly for breast cancer as an adjuvant therapy in breast conserving surgery and following mastectomy in local advanced breast cancer. Studies have shown a better locoregional control with postmastectomy radiation also in patients with early breast cancer [1]-[3]. In general, indications for radiotherapy in breast cancer patients have become more liberal and widespread.
