  Aims and objectives: Loco Regional Recurrences (LRR) can occur in up to 5%- 15% of patients with breast cancer despite appropriate treatment and this can potentially be a harbinger for subsequent systemic relapse. We analysed the incidence and patterns of LRR in breast cancer patients who received adjuvant radiotherapy from January 2015 to December 2018 at our centre. Methodology: The planning CT scans and the imaging done at the time of recurrences were superimposed to find out if the recurrences are inside or outside the irradiated volume. Results: After a median follow up of 37.5 months (18 m-52 m), 12 out of the 517 patients irradiated had LRR (2.3%). Median disease free interval was 14.5 m (1 m-52 m). 58.3% of patients had N2 or above nodal stage. 66.7% had Invasive carcinoma Gr2. Lympho vascular emboli was noted in 58.3%, perineural ..
