Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria:
* Women aged ≥18 years.
* Histologically confirmed invasive, early-stage breast carcinoma scheduled for adjuvant radiotherapy.
* Receiving total radiation dose of 40 Gy for 15 sessions.
Exclusion Criteria:
* Prior exposure to radiotherapy.
* Inflammatory or metastatic breast carcinoma.
* Patients with connective tissue disorders.
* Patients with skin inflammatory diseases (e.g. ectopic dermatitis).
* Patients with known allergy or hypersensitivity to alpha lipoic acid.
* Concomitant use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, corticosteroids, or antioxidant medications.

Primary outcome measure(s)
- Incidence of development of radiation induced dermatitis (RID) — weekly after every fifth Radiotherapy session till the end of study (3 weeks).
If the patient developed Radiation induced dermatitis or not. - Evaluation of the Severity of radiation-induced dermatitis (RID) developed — weekly after every fifth Radiotherapy session till the end of study (3 weeks).
severity will be scored using the Radiation Therapy Oncology Group (RTOG) criteria based on the clinical presentation. - Evaluation of Inflammatory biomarker level (Interleukin-6) — baseline, end of study Up to 3 Weeks
Assessing Serum level of Interleukin-6 (IL6) using ELISA kits. - Evaluation of Incidence of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events — weekly after every fifth Radiotherapy session till the end of study (3 weeks).
Patients will be educated and instructed to report any adverse events.
