This study will determine the feasibility and toxicity of a short course of accelerated radiotherapy as adjuvant treatment for early stage breast cancer. Successful completion of this project may provide a rationale to offer this treatment for select patients with the benefit of potentially less tissue damage and a shorter overall course of therapy. These improvements may ultimately allow more patients the opportunity of breast conserving therapy to treat their cancer
