“…It is well established that whole breast irradiation after breast-conserving surgery is useful in the reduction of local recurrences but the role of boost irradiation to the tumor bed is unknown. A large prospective randomized trial (European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer 22881 ) is at present being carried out to evalu ate this issue [14]. Until the results of this trial are avail able, it is advisable to make every effort to attain a nega tive surgical margin because at present it is not known whether or not boost irradiation is a safe alternative for the reexcision in cases of a positive surgical margin.…”

From September 1995, we changed our method of BCT to lumpectomy followed by RT to the whole breast, as a substitute for quadrantectomy without RT.…”
