Retrospective dose-response data suggest that a boost of about 15 Gy to the tumor bed following whole-breast radiotherapy reduces the risk of local recurrence (IBTR) by as much as 2-fold. Even if this benefit is confirmed by prospective trials, boost irradiation may not be considered cost-effective in patients having an IBTR risk of less than 1% per annum.
