Conditions
Summary
The reduction in the number of fractions in radiotherapy is especially attractive in several senses, and even more so considering breast cancer, which has a high incidence and generally favorable prognosis. Thus, as a reference Institution, the investigators intend to start the treatment of selected patients with a radiotherapy scheme of 26 Gy / 5 fractions in one week, in a controlled manner, through this project.The investigators consider the moment extremely propitious to start the study, as in addition to having the first publication of a large randomized study, proving the effectiveness and safety of the strategy, the investigators will be able to benefit more patients and the health system itself by minimizing the daily visits of these patients at the hospital.
