A comprehensive intraoperative radiation program should include intraoperative radiation therapy (IORT), intraoperative high-dose-rate brachytherapy (IOHDR), and perioperative brachytherapy for optimal cancer management.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Radiation Oncology
  • Surgical Oncology

Background:

  • Various intraoperative radiation modalities exist.
  • A comprehensive program requires multiple treatment options.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To outline a comprehensive intraoperative radiation program.
  • To define the roles of different intraoperative techniques in cancer management.

Main Methods:

  • Discussed interstitial brachytherapy for gross residual tumors.
  • Described intraoperative radiation therapy (IORT) for margins after resection.
  • Included fractionated external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) for microscopic disease.

Main Results:

  • Interstitial brachytherapy is preferred for gross residual disease.

Related Experiment Videos

  • IORT (IOERT/IOHDR) targets margins post-resection.
  • Fractionated EBRT addresses microscopic disease post-operatively.
  • IOHDR as a conformal boost with EBRT yields optimal results.

    • Conclusions:

    • A comprehensive intraoperative program should offer IOERT, IOHDR, and perioperative brachytherapy.
    • The choice of modality depends on tumor characteristics and available resources.
    • Optimal management integrates surgery with various radiation techniques.
