Abstract
Intraoperative radiotherapy (IORT) permits the delivery of a high radiation dose directly to the residual tumour or tumour bed while sparing nearby normal tissues. In most cases, IORT with the INTRABEAM® system is employed as a part of multimodal treatment, with the aim of providing an additional benefit in terms of prevention of local recurrence. IORT is used to treat many tumours, the most common being:
locally advanced or recurrent colorectal cancer
soft tissue sarcomas
stomach and pancreatic cancers
primary or recurrent gynaecological cancers
head and neck tumours
New fields of application are the treatment of symptomatic vertebral metastases, for which purpose IORT is employed in combination with balloon kyphoplasty (“kypho-IORT”), and intravaginal X-ray brachytherapy. A variety of applicators have been designed for the different treatments
