(S004) Hypofractionated Radiation Therapy After Breast Conservation Surgery for Ductal Carcinoma in Situ

Adjuvant hypofractionated whole breast radiation therapy (WBRT) for early stage breast cancer has become a standard treatment regimen because of its equivalent efficacy, attractive cost, and convenience. Randomized clinical trials have shown hypofractionated regimen to have equivalent local control to conventional fractionation for patients with invasive breast cancer, but few studies in the United States have reported results of hypofractionated WBRT to treat DCIS.
