Whole breast irradiation after breast-conserving surgery (BCS) with an external beam boost of 10-16 Gy is currently the standard treatment in breast cancer. Various modalities have been used for tumor bed boost irradiation. This study aimed to evaluate the local recurrence rate, overall survival rate (OSR), toxicity and cosmetic outcome of intraoperative radiotherapy (IORT) as a boost followed by whole breast irradiation in patients who received BCS.
