Abstract
In the management of breast cancer one of the common problems encountered is local or regional recurrence after initial primary treatment. Recurrent lesions require prompt attention and care because these lesions, if untreated, will grow, ulcerate, spread and produce symptoms. Radiation therapy is a very effective means of controlling this troublesome problem.
