In Bangalore, India, Fortis Healthcare Hospital was the first to use the intraoperative radiotherapy device, which was installed there two years ago. While there is a presumption that most breast cancer cases in India are locally advanced, hindering the use of machines like TI, there is an increasing number of early breast cancer cases due to more awareness and screening programs. This changing landscape of breast cancer diagnosis is characterised by more informed patients and a shift in the age of patients, with more younger patients being diagnosed. This shift requires offering least invasive and faster treatment options like TI.
