Brief Summary

The goal of the study is to investigate the feasibility of enabling a second chance for breast conservation in patients with in-breast recurrences after a previous lumpectomy and RT, investigators propose to test partial breast irradiation with the target volume encompassing the entire surgical bed with 1.0-1.5 cm margins. An additional goal of the study is to investigate the feasibility of enabling a second chance for breast conservation in patients with inbreast recurrences after a previous lumpectomy and PBI, the investigators propose to test whole breast RT (WBRT) with the target as the whole breast volume.
