A 50-year-old female with 20-mm left breast cancer (ER+, PgR-, HER2–) was treated with 52.8 Gy (RBE) C-ion RT and adjuvant 5-year tamoxifen (TAM) and 2-year LH-RH agonist. Contrast-enhanced gradient-echo T1-weighted MR images of pre-treatment, 1 month after, 3 months after, 6 months after, 12 months after and 24 months after C-ion RT.

At 9 months FDG uptake had disappeared
