Summary

Intra Operative Radiation Therapy (IORT) is a feasible cancer treatment with acceptable toxicity. While lacking strong survival data, IORT shows promise for selected patients, especially in recurrent or advanced cancers.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Radiation Oncology
  • Surgical Oncology

Context:

  • Intra Operative Radiation Therapy (IORT) has been utilized for two decades.
  • Established as a feasible treatment with reasonable cost and manageable toxicity.
  • Current evidence lacks definitive randomized trials proving overall survival benefits.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of IORT in selected cancer patients.
  • To assess IORT's role in managing locally recurrent and advanced deep-seated primary tumors.
  • To explore the future potential and expanded application of IORT.

Summary:

  • IORT demonstrates encouraging results in locally recurrent disease following incomplete resection.
  • It appears to enhance local control for locally advanced, deep-seated primary tumors.

  • Despite limited survival data, IORT is recognized as effective in specific patient groups.

    • Impact:

    • IORT is a valuable tool for improving local control in challenging cancer cases.
    • Advancements in mobile linear accelerators are expected to increase IORT accessibility.
    • Further clinical trials are needed to solidify IORT's indications in highly malignant cancers.
