Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Early and Intermediate Toxicity2 years

Any toxicity related to the radiation treatment will be scored and graded using National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v3.0 (Appendix 4). Acute side effects are any side effects occurring within 3 months of treatment. Intermediate side effects are any side effects occurring between 3 months and 2 years. This is reported in the outcome table.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Cosmetic Outcome2 years

Cosmetic results will be evaluated at each follow-up visit by the treating radiation oncologist using the Harvard criteria inclusive of discomfort during treatment(Pain), Fatigue and Acute skin reaction. This is reported in the outcome table.
