Radiation therapy in breast cancer has evolved dramatically over the past century. It has traveled a long path touching different milestones and taking unprecedented turns. At the end, a fine tune of clinical understanding, skill, technological advancement and translation of radiobiological understanding to clinical outcome has taken place. What all these have given is better survival with quality survivorship. It is thus prudent to understand breast irradiation in a new perspective suitable for the current millennium.
