Intraoperative boost radiation effects on early wound complications in breast cancer patients undergoing breast-conserving surgery

Conclusion: IORT could have a negative effect on seroma formation, SSI, and delayed healing. It should be kept in mind, however, that in centers with IORT implementation, the complication rate could also increase. Necessary measures for better sterilization in the operating room should be taken, while patient wound healing should be monitored closely. PMID: 29156861 [PubMed]
