Loyola Medicine is offering select
Loyola Medicine is offering select cancer patients a radiation treatment for cancer that is administered during surgery. It's called intraoperative radiation therapy, or IORT. After the tumor is removed, a concentrated dose of radiation is delivered to the tumor bed to kill any microscopic cancer cells left behind, thereby reducing the chance the cancer will recur.
Higher doses can be safely given because radiation is applied directly to the tumor site and doctors can move or shield healthy organs to protect them from the radiation. Loyola is offering IORT for patients with cancers including breast, gynecological, head and neck, pancreatic, colorectal, brain and bone metastasis.
