intraoperative radiation therapy

What Are the Benefits of IORT?

IORT offers several benefits, including:
Precision: The ability to deliver a concentrated dose of radiation directly to the tumor site.
Reduced Treatment Time: IORT typically requires a single session compared to multiple sessions of external radiation therapy.
Minimized Side Effects: By sparing surrounding healthy tissues, IORT can reduce the risk of radiation-induced side effects.
Immediate Treatment: Radiation is delivered immediately after tumor removal, which may help eliminate residual cancer cells.
