Dosimetric study to assess the feasibility of intraoperative radiotherapy with electrons (ELIOT) as partial breast irradiation for patients with cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED)

ConclusionsThis dosimetric study provided data to support the clinical use of ELIOT in BC patients having CIEDs as long as the suggested minimum safe distance of 2.5  cm is taken from the RT field in case of ELIOT single dose of 21 Gy, in the energy range of 6–10 MeV.
