1: Active Comparator
The purpose of this study is to find out the effectiveness and safety of a newer standard way of delivering radiation therapy called IMRT
|
Radiation: IMRT
external beam radiation will be delivered in 180 cGy daily fractions to a total dose of 5040 cGy.
|
IMRT treatment uses a computer-controlled x-ray (CT) to deliver radiation beams at several different angles and strengths to deliver precise doses to the regions at risk for recurrence of breast cancer while reducing or sparing the dose to critical structures (heart, lungs0 and nearby normal tissue.
