A member asked:
How effective has intraoperative radiation therapy been for u.s. breast-cancer patients so far?
4 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
Early results good: Published results of intraoperative radiation therapy, iort, (targit-a trial) have found no difference as compared to traditional whole-breast radiation therapy in a subset of people at low risk for recurrence. While promising, we await long-term data before expanding this option to more people. To-date, my experience has been very favorable.
