What is the optimal/safest regimen for re-irradiation of a partial chest wall following surgical resection of an isolated chest wall recurrence?  

Is there any literature supporting that a gentle fractionation/bid regimen (i.e., 1.5Gy bid x 30 = 45Gy) is safer than a standard fractionation  (i.e., 2Gy daily x 25 = 50Gy)?  Thoughts from anecdotal experience are welcomed as well!
