Treatment details of recurrent breast carcinoma patients treated with reirradiation. Radiation doses (Gy) of initial radiotherapy and reirradiation, the cumulative dose (dose 1 + 2) and the cumulative BED3 Gy (Gy) are shown. For the initial treatment, whole breast plus boost dose is given, if retreatment volume included the initial boost volume. The interval between the last day of the initial radiotherapy and first day of reirradiation is given in months.
