Research Abstract

The aim of this study is to compare the hypofractionation postoperative radiotherapy (HF) versus the standard conventional fractionation postoperative radiotherapy (CF) as adjuvant therapy for surgically treated early-stage breast cancer. The objectives include the study of the two treatment regimens of radiotherapy for early stage breast cancer to asess the local control, and normal tissue responses in women prescribed post-operative radiotherapy.
