Take home messages – innovations in RT breast cancer

- Shorter duration of overall treatment time: • Hypofractionation • Accelerated Partial breast irradiation

- Reduced toxicity:

• Optimal cardiac sparing with Breath hold technique • APBI

• Less arm morbidty: Regional RT instead of axillary lymph node dissection • VMAT in breast radiotherapy in ‘special cases’ to reduce cardiac / lung dose e.g regional RT including internal mammary nodes, funnel chest
