    Abstract

    BACKGROUND Carcinoma Breast is potentially curable at early stages but is still the leading cause of cancer- related mortality among women living in a developing country like India The conventional fractionation radiotherapy (CFRT) dose 2.0+/-0.2 Gy is delivered 50Gy/25 fractions for 5-6 weeks which causes a long hospital stay with physical and emotional burden and social isolation both for the patient and the family leading to poor compliance. Hypofractionatedradiotherapy (HFRT) delivering more than 2.2 Gy per fraction needs only 3 weeks 40.05 Gy in 15 fractions or less duration of treatment only.
