Intrabeam therapy is an innovative form of intraoperative radiation therapy (IORT) used primarily for breast cancer treatment. This advanced technique delivers a single, concentrated dose of radiation directly to the tumour site during surgery, targeting any remaining cancer cells immediately after the tumour is removed. By administering radiation from within the body, Intrabeam minimizes exposure to surrounding healthy tissue and reduces the overall treatment time compared to traditional external beam radiation therapy. Patients benefit from fewer side effects and quicker recovery times. Intrabeam therapy, managed by a team of specialized surgeons and radiation oncologists, offers a convenient and effective treatment option, especially for early-stage breast cancer.
