This will be a randomized, double blind, vehicle-controlled evaluation of the effectiveness and safety of HylaCareTM. The study will employ the patient as her own control, a commonly used method for the evaluation of topical dermatologic agents. Each patient will be randomized blindly as to whether the study serum will be applied to the medial or lateral portion of the treated breast, using the nipple as the dividing line. The product and placebo will also be applied to the contra-lateral breast in the same fashion, as a further control. The study drug and placebo will be applied three (3) times daily.
Patients will be allocated to the treatment using a randomized permuted block. There will be no stratification. Patients will be randomized to receive the investigational product to be applied to either the medial (inside) or lateral (outside) portion of the breast, a placebo product will be used on the other side. Patients and clinical investigators will be blinded to the treatment assignments.

Acute Skin Toxicity Per NCI-CTC v4.0
NCI-CTC (National Cancer Institute-Common Terminology Criteria) version 4.0 was used to assessed acute skin toxicity grade by physician. Toxicity grade range from Grade 0 to Grade 5, with higher grade indicating worst skin toxicity.
Time frame: Week 5 during radiation therapy

Time frame: Week 2 post-radiation therapy
Acute Skin Toxicity Per Investigator Grading Scale
Investigator Grading Scale is used to assessed acute skin toxicity. Score range from grade 0 to 6 with 0 = normal skin 1. = light epidermal irritation, consisting of the onset of erythema, possibly associated with slight edema 2. = erythema with dry desquamation 3. = wet desquamation \</= 2 cm 4. = wet desquamation from 2.1 - 5cm 5. = wet desquamation from 5.1 - 9 cm 6. = wet desquamation \> 9.1 cm
Time frame: Week 5 during radiation therapy
