Intra-operative radiotherapy for breast cancer has been developed throughout the last two decades. It is already well-established regarding local control and toxicity for intra-operative radiotherapy using electrons as we now have the necessary background knowledge. However, very few data on later toxicity are available for intra-operative radiotherapy using low-energy photons. We report here the case of a 36-year-old woman who experienced rib fracture following intra-operative and external radiotherapy. This patient has been included in the Targit-boost trial. The intra-operative irradiation has been operated with an INTRABEAM device delivering low-energy photons of 50-kV.

Marginal mandibulectomy is indicated for oral cavity squamous cell carcinomas that involve floor of mouth, abut or minimally erode the mandible without gross invasion. Successful outcomes after Marginal mandibulectomy is predicated on accurate patient selection and appropriate adjuvant treatment based on specific host and tumor characteristics. To study the onclogical outcomes in terms of loco-regional recurrence free survival and disease specific survival of marginal mandibulectomy done for oral squamous cell carcinomas.

Electronic address:
In non-coplanar radiotherapy, DR is commonly used for image guiding which needs to fuse intraoperative DR with preoperative CT. But this fusion task performs poorly, suffering from unaligned and dimensional differences between DR and CT. CT reconstruction estimated from DR could facilitate this challenge.
