Aim and hypothesis of the DBCG PBI trial

AIM

To investigate differences in morbidity following whole

breast and partial breast irradiation in patients operated

with breast conservation for breast cancer with low risk

of recurrence

Hypothesis

Patients operated with breast conservation for breast

cancer with low risk of recurrence can be treated with

partial breast irradiation without experiencing more late

radiation-induced morbidity compared with whole breast

irradiation
