OBJECTIVES:
Primary:
To determine the toxicity with adjuvant hypofractionated whole breast radiation with simultaneous tumor bed boost (SIB) in women with early breast cancer after breast conserving surgery.
Secondary:
To determine the short term cosmetic and quality of life of the participants treated with this regimen.
To determine the local control of the participants treated with this regimen.

Toxicity, quality of life and cosmetic result is assessed before radiation, at the end of the radiation, within 2, 4, 6 weeks after completion of radiotherapy, and then every 3 months for 1 ear.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 90 participants will be accrued for this study.
