Intraoperative radiation therapy is an option for some breast cancer patients
With breast cancer, patients often face a choice between removing the breast, or preserving the breast by removing only the cancerous tissue and hoping several weeks of radiation therapy will prevent its return. Many can be spared from enduring weeks of complicated radiation therapy with a minutes-long procedure in the operating room.
Dr. Jessica Partin (Comprehensive Breast Cancer Program at the WVU CI) and Dr. Rolly Sullivan (director of the WVU Medicine Addiction Program) explain intraoperative radiation therapy, or IORT, in this WVU Medicine Health Report.
