Conclusions – Innovations in breast cancer RT

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

- Reduced toxicity:

• Simultaneously Integrated Boost on tumor bed • Optimal cardiac sparing with Breath hold technique • Regional RT instead of axillary lymph node dissection • Accelerated partial breast RT • VMAT may be promising in breast radiotherapy in ‘special cases’ e.g regional RT including internal mammary nodes, funnel chest
