A preliminary review was conducted for ten female early breast cancer patients treated with conservative surgery and radiotherapy from December 1994 to December 1996. Patients' ages ranged from 28 to 53 years old. Nine patients were staged clinically as T2N0M0 with one patient staged as T2N1M0. Six patients were operated with lumpectomy and axillary lymph node dissection, while 4 patients were treated with quadrantectomy and axillary lymph node dissection. All 10 patients were treated with radiotherapy to the chest wall by tangential method using 6 MV linear accelerator photon beams. Total dose of 5,000 cGy was given in 28 fractions. The patient with lymph node metastasis was treated adjuvantly with 6 courses of chemotherapy using Cyclophosphamide, Methotrexate and 5-Fluorouracil. With a minimum follow up of 12 months, all patients are alive with-out evidence of diseases. All patients are also satisfied with the cosmetic results of the treatment with no significant fibrosis or shrinkage of the treated breast noted.
