About this trial
The goal of this prospective, single-arm, phase II, non-randomized trial is to evaluate an hypofractionation schedule with high dose simultaneous integrated tumor bed boost in early breast cancer patients.
The main question\[s\] it aims to answer are:
* evaluate the rate of all grades of radiation-induced fibrosis at 4 years. * evaluate poor/fair cosmesis rate Participants will be treated with hypofractionated radiotherapy (RT) to whole breast with a dose of 40.05 Gy in 15 fractions (2.67 Gy/die) and a concomitant tumor bed dose of 52.5 Gy (3.5 gy/die)
