Eligibility
Key inclusion criteria
Patients must fulfill all of the following criteria for admission to study:

* Women = 18 years.
* Histologically proven DCIS of the breast without an invasive component.
* Bilateral mammograms performed within 6 months prior to randomization.
* Clinically node-negative.
* Treated by breast conserving surgery (primary excision or re-excision) with complete microscopic excision and clear radial margins of =1 mm* (*Patients with superficial or deep resection margin of <1 mm are eligible if surgery has removed all of the intervening breast tissue from the subcutaneous tissue to the pectoralis fascia).
* Women who are at high risk of local recurrence due to:

* Age < 50 years; OR
* Age = 50 years plus at least one of the following:

* Symptomatic presentation
* Palpable tumour
* Multifocal disease
* Microscopic tumour size = 1.5 cm in maximum dimension
* Intermediate or high nuclear grade
* Central necrosis
* Comedo histology
* Radial* surgical resection margin < 10 mm. (*Patients with superficial or deep resection margin of < 10 mm are eligible if surgery has not removed all of the intervening breast tissue from the subcutaneous tissue to the pectoralis fascia.)
* Assessed by surgeon and radiation oncologist to be suitable for breast conserving therapy including whole breast RT.
* Ability to tolerate protocol treatment.
* Protocol RT should preferably commence within 8 weeks but must commence no later than 12 weeks from the last surgical procedure.
* ECOG performance status 0, 1 or 2.
* Patient's life expectancy > 5 years.
* Availability for long-term follow-up.
* Written informed consent.

Key exclusion criteria
Patients who fulfill any of the following criteria are not eligible for admission to study:

* Multicentric disease or extensive microcalcifications that could not be completely excised by breast conserving surgery with radial margins of =1 mm*.

*Patients with superficial and/or deep margin of <1 mm are eligible if surgery has removed all of the intervening breast tissue from the subcutaneous tissue to the pectoralis fascia.
* Presence of tumour cells in lymph nodes detected using H&E or immunohistochemical examination (if lymph node biopsy or dissection has been performed).
* Locally recurrent breast cancer.
* Previous DCIS or invasive cancer of the contralateral breast.

* Bilateral DCIS of the breasts
* Synchronous invasive carcinoma of the contralateral breast
* Other concurrent or previous malignancies except:

* Non-melanomatous skin cancer;
* Carcinoma in situ of the cervix or endometrium; and
* Invasive carcinoma of the cervix, endometrium, colon, thyroid and melanoma treated at least five years prior to study admission without disease recurrence.
* Serious non-malignant disease that precludes definitive surgical or radiation treatment (e.g., scleroderma, systemic lupus erythematosus, cardiovascular/pulmonary/renal disease).
* ECOG performance status = 3.
* Women who are pregnant or lactating.
