Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
1. to verify whether the delineation of the tumour bed, based on the combination of the visible postoperative changes and the position of the surgical clips on a CT scan in treatment position acquired 1 week before the start of the radiotherapy (RT), provides an accurate localisation of the boost volume compared to the localisation of the tumour on a pre-operative CT-scan.
2. to document the changes that occur in the tumour bed as seen on a CT scan as a function of the delay between surgery and radiotherapy.
3. to determine the ideal number and the positioning of the clips needed to reproduce the best treatment volume for the boost.
4. to propose new guidelines for tumour bed definition and delineation based on the study findings.
