    Intraoperative radiotherapy (IORT) offers a potent single dose of electrons for challenging cancers. This advanced technique is increasingly adopted worldwide for various advanced and recurrent malignancies.

    Area of Science:

    • Oncology
    • Radiation Oncology
    • Surgical Oncology

    Context:

    • Intraoperative radiotherapy (IORT) is a specialized technique delivering high-dose radiation during surgery.
    • It addresses locally advanced or difficult-to-treat malignancies often resistant to conventional external beam radiotherapy.
    • The global adoption of IORT is rising due to improved medical accelerator availability and positive outcomes.

    Purpose:

    • To investigate the application and efficacy of intraoperative radiotherapy for various cancers.
    • To highlight the suitability of IORT for malignancies adjacent to normal tissues or organs with low tolerance doses.
    • To expand the understanding of IORT's role in treating recurrent or complex tumors.

    Summary:

    • IORT involves administering a large, single dose of electrons directly to a tumor during surgery.

  • It is indicated for cancers of the stomach, liver, pancreas, colorectum, bladder, prostate, and uterus.
  • Recurrent or challenging tumors in the brain, lung, mediastinum, bone, and soft tissues are also candidates for IORT.

    • Impact:

    • IORT provides a valuable therapeutic option for complex oncological cases.
    • It allows for precise radiation delivery, potentially sparing surrounding healthy tissues.
    • The expanding use of IORT signifies its growing importance in multidisciplinary cancer treatment strategies.
