Intraoperative radiotherapy (IORT) for early stage breast cancer is a technique for partial breast irradiation. There are several technologies in clinical use to perform breast IORT. Regardless of technique, IORT generally refers to the delivery of a single dose of radiation to the periphery of the tumor bed in the immediate intraoperative time frame, although some protocols have performed IORT...

متن کاملIntraoperative radiotherapy for breast cancer: its perceived simplicity.
Over one-quarter of a million cases of breast cancer are diagnosed in the United States each year, many of which are early stage.The radiotherapeutic options after breast-conserving surgery in early-stage breast cancer are evolving quickly, with a focus on minimizing treatment volume, toxicity, and treatment duration. One such emerging option is intraoperative radiotherapy (IORT), administered ...
متن کاملBiological dosimetry for breast cancer radiotherapy: a comparison of external beam and intraoperative radiotherapy
PURPOSE External beam radiotherapy (EBRT) is the gold standard adjuvant treatment after breast conserving surgery although a recent phase 3 trial has shown the non-inferiority of intraoperative radiotherapy (IORT). Radiation exposure of the heart and cardiac vessels causes an increase in morbidity and mortality following EBRT for breast cancer. We have used γ-H2AX foci formation in peripheral b...
متن کاملInherent radiosensitivity and its impact on breast cancer chemo-radiotherapy
About 10% of apparently normal individuals are sensitive to clastogenic effects of physico-chemical agents. More than 45% of breast cancer patients’ exhibit elevated radiosensitivity. Although the nature of inherent radiosensitivity is not fully understood, but insufficiency and impaired DNA repair mechanism might be prime cause of radiosensitivity. This is evident from genetically affect...
