Abstract Background Treatment options for loco-regional recurrent breast cancer after previous irradiation are limited. The efficacy of chemotherapy might be hampered because of impaired tissue perfusion in preirradiated tissue. Thus mastectomy or local excision and reconstructive surgery are the preferred treatments. However in recent years evidence accumulates that a second breast conserving approach with reirradiation as part of the treatment might be feasible and safe and furthermore reirradiation might be an option for palliation. Here we report on the experience of a single community centre in reirradiation of recurrent breast cancer. Methods The report is based on 29 patients treated with reirradiation. All data were prospectively collected. The median age was 63 years .
