    Intraoperative radiotherapy (IORT) alone at 10-20 Gy has limited local effect. Combining IORT with external beam radiation increases normal tissue damage, necessitating new therapeutic strategies.

    Area of Science:

    • Oncology
    • Radiation Oncology

    Context:

    • Intraoperative radiotherapy (IORT) is utilized for tumorous processes.
    • Current IORT protocols often involve doses of 10-20 Gy.

    Purpose:

    • To evaluate the efficacy and toxicity of IORT in patients with various tumorous processes.
    • To explore strategies for enhancing local tumor control while minimizing normal tissue damage.

    Summary:

    • A study of 129 patients indicates that single IORT doses of 10-20 Gy are often insufficient for sustained local tumor control, requiring supplementary external beam radiation.
    • While IORT alone shows minimal normal tissue toxicity, combining it with external beam radiation (30-60 Gy) results in radiation-induced normal tissue lesions in 30% of patients.
    • Increasing IORT doses to enhance local effects may escalate toxicity, highlighting the need for expanded radiotherapeutic options.

    Impact:

    • Findings suggest that current IORT regimens may require optimization or combination with other modalities.
    • The study underscores the dose-response relationship between IORT and normal tissue toxicity.
    • Identifies the urgent need for research into novel approaches to broaden the radiotherapeutic range and improve patient outcomes.
