[Five-fraction radiotherapy for breast cancer]

Abstract

Extreme hypofractionation in adjuvant breast radiotherapy currently generates a lot of interest. We propose here a synthesis of hypofractionation trials and present the DESTHE COL and DESTHE GR projects, encouraged by the French National Cancer Institute (INCa), which experiment care pathways in order to deploy effective strategies to de-escalate the therapeutics and to reduce sequelae after cancer treatment.
