          Postoperative breast cancer radiotherapy (RT) reduces the risk of local recurrence with a factor of 3–4 [1]. In The Netherlands the standard schedule for breast radiotherapy has been 15 fractions of 2.67 Gy since 2013, based on 10-year follow-up results of the START B trial [2]. When designing an RT plan, a continuous trade off between optimal dose to the target versus optimal sparing of organs at risk (OAR) needs to be made. As the relationship between dose-volume parameters, local control and side-effects is not very clear, and because the acceptance of a local recurrence risk and side effects differ per physician and per patient, a wide practice variation exists in the trade-offs made.
