7. 
   The patient refused prophylactic contralateral mastectomy.
   
8. 
   The patient is aware that subsequent breast cancer in the irradiated breast will probably mandate mastectomy.
   
9. 
   The patient consent for contralateral prophylactic irradiation. -

   Metastatic breast cancer.
   
2. 
   Previous irradiation of the breast or chest wall.
   
3. 
   Pregnancy.
   
4. 
   No concurrent chemotherapy is allowed
   
5. 
   Patients with active connective tissue diseases are excluded due to the potential risk of significant radiotherapy toxicity.
