How does IORT treat breast cancer?
IORT uses a miniaturized x-ray source to deliver a full course of targeted radiation from inside the body, directly within the tumor cavity where the cancer is most likely to recur, carefully destroying cancer cells and reducing the risk of damage to nearby healthy tissue including the heart, 肺, 和排骨. This helps minimize potential side effects which are more common with whole breast irradiation.
A discussion with your surgeon about breast IORT, as well as other treatment options, is necessary to determine if you are a candidate.

Radiation oncologists and surgeons work together to administer breast IORT is in just five simple steps:
- A surgeon will remove the cancer while preserving the remaining breast tissue.
- Immediately after the cancer is removed, a small inflatable balloon is placed inside the surgical cavity.
- The miniaturized x-ray source is placed in the applicator and energized to deliver radiation for a prescribed amount of time.
- Radiation is delivered while medical personnel remain in the room.
- When the treatment is complete, the x-ray source is turned off. All devices are removed and the surgeon will complete the operation.
