Abstract

Introduction: Parallel with the emerging results of the FAST-Forward (FF) trial, we implemented ultrahypofractionated radiation therapy (RT) for early-stage breast cancer in our clinic at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic [Brunt 2020]. This scheme of 26 Gy in 5 consecutive fractions, was given to all breast cancer patients referred for postoperative RT of the breast only.
