Intraoperative radiation therapy (IORT) represents a major advancement in surgical oncology, allowing for targeted radiation delivery during surgery. Originating in the 1960s, IORT faced challenges but has seen a resurgence due to technological improvements. It offers benefits like reduced tissue damage and is used for various cancers. Key factors include patient selection and the procedure's steps, with a focus on minimising complications and enhancing treatment outcomes.
