Inclusion Criteria

1. Age 50 years or younger
2. Histological diagnosis of invasive mammary cancer including all subtypes of invasive adenocarcinoma
3. Tumour location and extension imaged prior to surgery using at least mammography and ultrasound
4. Unicentric tumours and multifocal tumours removed using a wide local excision; microscopic radical resection (focally involved margins allowed, defined as: any Ductal Carcinoma In Situ [DCIS] or invasive carcinoma in three or fewer low-power fields (using a x 4 objective and a x 10 ocular lens, which has a diameter of 5 mm per low-power microscopic fields)
5. Sentinel lymph node biopsy and/or axillary lymph node dissection has been performed
6. Breast cancer stage: pT1-2pN0-2a M0
7. No treatment is allowed prior to surgery (no neoadjuvant chemotherapy, no neoadjuvant hormonal therapy, no pre-operative radiotherapy)
8. In cases where no adjuvant chemotherapy is given, wide local excision has been performed less than 10 weeks before the start of radiotherapy
9. In cases where adjuvant chemotherapy is given immediately after surgery, wide local excision has been performed less than 6 months before the start of radiotherapy, and chemotherapy should be completed less than 6 weeks before the start of radiotherapy
10. In cases where hormonal treatment is planned, this is given after completion of the radiotherapy
11. No previous history or synchronous malignant tumour in the other breast, previous history of malignant disease, except adequately treated carcinoma in situ of the cervix or basal cell carcinoma of the skin
12. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance scale 2 or less

Exclusion Criteria

1. Residual microcalcifications on mammogram
2. All histological types of malignancies other than invasive adenocarcinoma
3. In situ carcinoma of the breast, without invasive tumour
4. Concurrent pregnancy
5. Multicentric tumours, and multifocal tumours excised using multiple excisions
6. Invasive breast cancer in both breasts
