Study Overview

Brief Summary

Radiotherapy has been confirmed as an important treatment breast-conserving surgery reducing the risk of any recurrence of breast cancer and breast cancer-related mortality in patients with early breast cancer.

There are no comparative data on the ideal radiotherapy treatment regimen for patients with early stage breast cancer who underwent conservative surgery in the Brazilian population.

Detailed Description

The investigators propose a prospective, randomized, pilot study, with active control, to evaluate the viability and safety of accelerated partial breast irradiation, in 5 fractions, comparing with the radiotherapy regimens of the whole breast in 15 and 5 fractions, in patients with breast cancer, in initial stage, who underwent conservative surgery.
