Do you consider 1.8Gy and 2Gy fraction sizes completely equivalent when performing whole breast radiation therapy?

Although they probably are, I tend to use 1.8 Gy for conventional treatment. Given how well women do with 2.66 Gy with hypofractionated regimen, it seems logical that a 2 Gy fractionation should be just as well tolerated.
