Title: Single-dose intraoperative radiotherapy during lumpectomy for breast cancer: an innovative patient-centred treatment Cord-id: j2jg9yfi Document date: 2021_2_2
ID: j2jg9yfi
Snippet: In the randomised TARGIT-A trial, risk-adapted targeted intraoperative radiotherapy (TARGIT-IORT) during lumpectomy was non-inferior to whole-breast external beam radiotherapy, for local recurrence. In the long-term, no difference was found in any breast cancer outcome, whereas there were fewer deaths from non-breast-cancer causes. TARGIT-IORT should be included in pre-operative consultations with eligible patients.
