Abstract

Background: Adjuvant radiotherapy following breast-conserving surgery or mastectctomy is a fundamental component
of curative treatment for early breast cancer. Historically, radiotherapy was delivered using conventional fractionation
over five to six weeks. However, increasing understanding of breast cancer radiobiology, coupled with the need to improve
patient convenience and healthcare efficiency, led to the development of moderately hypofractionated radiotherapy
