Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
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.
