This is a randomized, two-arm, single blinded trial comparing two radiation treatment modalities, PBI and WBI. Following BCS or on the completion of additional adjuvant chemotherapy, eligible and consenting patients with newly diagnosed and histologically confirmed invasive carcinoma of the breast (without evidence of metastatic disease); with microscopically clear resection margins of 1mm (or no residual disease on re-excision) and negative axillary node involvement will be randomized in a 1:1 fashion to receive either PBI (experimental group) or WBI (control group). Study participants will receive 26Gy in 5 fractions in both treatment arms, treated once per day, for a period of 5-7 days. Study participants will not be made aware of treatment allocation to prevent any potential bias in their assessment of cosmesis. Stratification factors include tumour size, estrogen receptor (ER) status, and clinical centre.
