During intraoperative radiation therapy (IORT), a single large dose of radiation is delivered in the operating suite after the tumor bed and adjacent normal organs have been defined (figure 6). Founded in 1993, IntraOp is committed to providing the tools doctors need to administer intraoperative radiation therapy safely and effectively - for all cancer patients. The first group (188 patients) received only traditional postoperative radiotherapy to the entire breast and the second group (190) patients received intraoperative radiation therapy (an Optimal Boost) in addition to post-operative radiation therapy. |
