The rationale for using intraoperative irradiation (IORT) is based on the realization
that tolerable doses of eternal beam radiation are often insufficient to achieve control
of locally advanced malignancies. In these instances, the IORT component of treatment
becomes the optimal conformal technique of irradiation, since dose-limiting organs
or structures can either be surgically displaced or protected by placement of lead
shielding. This fully revised and expanded second edition is of interest to those
with intraoperative electron (IOERT) capabilities, high-dose-rate brachytherapy (HDR-IORT)
capabilities, or both. Techniques, indications, and results are discussed by disease
site. Each chapter is dual authored by a radiation oncologist and a surgeon, giving
a balanced presentation of clinical scenarios. Issues of basic science and physics
are also covered, and a notable chapter on normal tissue tolerance is included. Intraoperative
Irradiation: Techniques and Results, Second Edition is a superb compilation, providing
essential cutting-edge knowledge. It is a foundation for physicians as IORT develops
and becomes more widely available
