Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Women will be randomised to receive one of the following four treatments:
- Whole breast RT alone using standard fractionation schedule 50 Gy / 25 fractions over 35 days
- Whole breast RT alone using shorter fractionation schedule 42.5 Gy / 16 fractions over 22 days
- Whole breast RT plus tumour bed boost using standard fractionation schedule - 50 Gy / 25 fractions over 35 days plus 10 Gy / 5 fractions over 5 days
- Whole breast RT plus tumour bed boost using shorter fractionation schedule - 42.5 Gy / 16 fractions over 22 days plus 10 Gy / 4 fractions over 4 days

6. Assessed by surgeon and radiation oncologist to be suitable for breast conserving therapy including whole breast RT.
7. Ability to tolerate protocol treatment.
8. Protocol RT should preferably commence within 8 weeks but must commence no later than 12 weeks from the last surgical procedure

Key exclusion criteria
Patients who fulfil any of the following criteria are not eligible for admission to study:-
1. Multicentric disease or extensive microcalcifications that could not be completely excised by breast conserving surgery with radial margins of greater than or equal to 1mm (Patients with superficial and/or deep margin of < 1mm are eligible if surgery has removed all of the intervening breast tissue from the subcutaneous tissue to the pectoralis fascia)
2. Presence of tumour cells in lymph nodes detected using H&E or immunohistochemical examination (if lymph node biopsy or dissection has been performed).
3. Locally recurrent breast cancer.
4. Previous DCIS or invasive cancer of the contralateral breast.
5. Other concurrent or previous malignancies except: a) Non-melanomatous skin cancer; b) Carcinoma in situ of the cervix or endometrium; and
c) Invasive carcinoma of the cervix, endometrium, colon, thyroid and melanoma treated at least five years prior to study admission without disease recurrence.
6. Serious non-malignant disease that precludes definitive surgical or radiation treatment (e.g. scleroderma, systemic lupus erythematosus, cardiovascular/pulmonary/renal disease).- 7. ECOG performance status = 3.
8. Women who are pregnant or lactating.
