Brief Summary In breast cancer patients with nodal involvement, numerous studies have demonstrated that adjuvant radiation therapy reduces the risk of local recurrence, regional recurrence, and distant metastases, in addition to improving survival. The dose and fractionation for adjuvant breast radiation therapy has evolved over time, as novel schedules have been compared to the current standard of care. Hypofractionated radiation therapy (266 cGy per fraction x 15-16 fractions over 3 weeks) has been shown to result in equivalent oncologic outcomes, as well as equivalent acute and late toxicity, when compared to standard fractionation (200 cGy per fraction x 25 fractions over 5 weeks). Subsequently, hypofractionated breast radiation has become the current standard of care.
