Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

A prospective study comparing sequential versus concomitant radiotherapy boost in breast conservative therapy.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This study is a prospective randomized non-inferiority trial of accelerated hypofractionated whole breast irradiation plus sequential boost versus concomitant boost after breast conservative surgery. It will be conducted on 124 patients who will be randomized using permuted blocks. The primary outcome measured is the cosmetic outcome, while secondary outcomes are patient satisfaction (using breast questionnaire), acute toxicity (using RTOG acute toxicity scoring criteria), and late toxicity (using RTOG late toxicity scoring criteria).
