IORT Eliminate Cancer, Spare Healthy Tissue

for breast cancer treatment

IORT is a sophisticated procedure that delivers a single dose of radiotherapy directly to the tissues surrounding the cancer during lumpectomy and can be delivered in a single day.

The concept behind this approach is to destroy any remaining cancer cells within the lumpectomy cavity, which is where more than 90% of local recurrences typically occur near the tumour bed.

This technique may be the best option for selected cases because it reduces both radiation exposure and treatment time. As the name implies, IORT is administered concurrently with tumour removal surgery.

Minimized radiation exposure to surrounding healthy breast tissue, underlying bones, lungs, and heart.

iort-Recurrence-risk-beacon-hospital-malaysia

Recurrence risk has been reduced. Because the radiation is delivered directly to the tumour site at a high dose, the risk of recurrence is reduced.

In deliberately selected cases, IORT can be offered to patients as an alternative treatment option, allowing them to receive a shorter dose treatment with fewer side effects to the breast. It can also save time, money, and provide the patient with a greater quality of life.

IORT may not be suitable for every woman with breast cancer.

Because your treatment options may differ depending on your age and the characteristics of your tumour, such as size, type, or stage, it is critical to consult with your doctor about your best options.

Note: As with any major surgery, you must follow your doctor’s instructions. Caring for yourself after therapy reduces the chances of complications such as wound healing, skin redness, and exhaustion.
