Intraoperative radiotherapy (IORT) of early breast cancer with low-energy x-rays in breast-conserving surgery

ConclusionWe observed that preoperative ultrasound-based tumor –skin distance is a significant factor in addition to already known parameters to predict feasibility of IORT. Based on our findings we developed a formula to optimize IORT planning which might serve as an additional tool to improve patient selection for IORT in early breast cancer.
