Postoperative radiotherapy of breast cancer is one of the most common indications of radiation therapy. The aim of irradiation isto reduce the risk of local recurrence and to prolong overall survival. Even this treatment goes through its development, which isconditioned by the improvement of the technical possibilities of radiotherapy, and which is aimed at the benefit to the patient.New directions in breast cancer radiotherapy include, for example, hypofractionation, accelerated partial breast irradiation (APBI),proton beam irradiation, and irradiation in deep respiratory breathold.

Keywords: breast cancer, radiotherapy, hypofractionation, partial breast irradiation, proton therapy, deep respiratory breathold
