    Area of Science:

    • Oncology
    • Surgical Oncology
    • Radiation Oncology

    Background:

    • Intraoperative radiotherapy (IORT) involves delivering radiation during surgical procedures.
    • It targets unresectable tumors, partially resectable tumors, and regional lymph nodes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the potential of IORT as a supplementary cancer treatment.
    • To assess the feasibility and tolerability of the IORT procedure.

    Main Methods:

    • External beam radiation is administered at the time of surgical exposure.
    • The procedure is integrated into the surgical workflow.

    Main Results:

    • IORT is a promising supplement to conventional cancer therapies.
    • The procedure does not present significant surgical challenges.
  • IORT is generally well-tolerated by patients.

    • Conclusions:

    • Intraoperative radiotherapy is a viable and effective adjunct to standard cancer care.
    • The technique offers a safe and promising approach for managing complex tumor cases.
