Intraoperative radiation therapy (IORT) is now more accessible with mobile linear accelerators, simplifying treatment delivery. This innovation reduces the need for specialized operating rooms or patient transport for radiation oncology services.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Medical Physics
  • Surgical Nursing

Background:

  • Intraoperative radiation therapy (IORT) is increasingly used for tumors and post-resection beds.
  • Traditional IORT required heavily shielded operating rooms or patient transport to radiation oncology departments.
  • These logistical challenges limited IORT accessibility.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the equipment and supplies for intraoperative radiation therapy (IORT).
  • To address perioperative nursing considerations for IORT.
  • To outline the roles of the multidisciplinary team in IORT delivery.

Main Methods:

  • Review of intraoperative radiation therapy (IORT) equipment and supplies.
  • Discussion of perioperative nursing roles and responsibilities.
