    Intraoperative radiotherapy allows higher radiation doses for deep tumors by moving normal tissues aside. This technique is crucial for gastro-intestinal cancers where normal tissue tolerance limits treatment.

    Area of Science:

    • Oncology
    • Radiation Oncology
    • Surgical Oncology

    Context:

    • Normal tissue tolerance is a key limitation in radiation therapy for tumors.
    • Gastro-intestinal cancers often present challenges due to proximity to critical organs.
    • Advanced tumor sites require innovative treatment delivery methods.

    Purpose:

    • To describe the technique of intraoperative radiotherapy (IORT).
    • To review the indications and potential applications of IORT.
    • To highlight IORT's role in overcoming normal tissue constraints.

    Summary:

    • Intraoperative radiotherapy (IORT) is a specialized technique used during surgery.
    • It enables the delivery of high radiation doses directly to the tumor.
    • Surrounding normal tissues are moved aside, minimizing radiation exposure and damage.

    Impact:

    • IORT expands treatment options for deeply located and infradiaphragmatic tumors.
    • It improves the therapeutic ratio by maximizing tumor dose and minimizing toxicity.
    • This approach offers a viable solution for complex cancer cases, particularly in the gastro-intestinal tract.
