Brief Summary  

Post operative breast cancer patients will be recruited into the study and randomized into two arms as control arm and intervention arm. Control arm patients will receive standard hypofractionation regimen with or with out nodal irradiation and intervention arm will receive 34Gy in 10 fractions  in case of mastectomy and with tumor bed boost in case of breast conservative surgery. Patients will be reviewed 1 month, 3 months and 6 months.
