Comparison of Set-up Reproducibility Between Prone and Supine Intensity Modulated Radiotherapy (IMRT) for the Adjuvant Treatment of Breast Carcinoma After Lumpectomy

10 patients will be treated alternating daily between prone and supine position for breast radiotherapy to compare set-up accuracy. Prone treatment will be given on the odds days and supine treatment on the even days.
