State of the art in breast intraoperative electron radiation therapy after intraoperative ultrasound introduction

Abstract: Background Breast intraoperative electron radiation therapy (B-IOERT) can be used in clinical practice both as elective irradiation (partial breast irradiation – APBI) in low risk breast cancer patients, and as an anticipated boost. The procedure generally includes the use of a shielding disk between the residual breast and the pectoralis fascia for the protection of the tissues underneath the target volume. The aim of the study was to evaluate the role of intraoperative ultrasound (IOUS) in … Show more

“…In the future, improved target volume coverage by using real-time imaging and treatment planning during the surgical and IOeRT procedure will facilitate optimal selection and positioning of the linac's applicator and electron energy [ 55 ]. FLASH-irradiation is set to be explored in this field as well, as a possible solution for increasing irradiated volumes without increasing side effects [ 56 ].…”
