Background: The rationale behind the use of HIPEC involves targeted elimination of microscopic peritoneal metastasis, a common route for GCa dissemination, thereby improving the overall survival and reducing recurrences. Moreover, the reasoning behind the use of IORT is enhanced loco-regional control and, therefore, reducing recurrence rates.

Methods: From February 2013 to June 2023, all GCa patients who underwent HIPEC plus IORT during surgery were included in this study.

Radiation therapy is actively utilized for superficial lesions. External beam radiotherapy for cutaneous lesions utilizes electrons with low transmittance. Conventional electron beam therapy uses Cerrobend blocks for field shaping; however, the Intraoperative Radiotherapy (IORT) applicator offers superior dosimetric characteristics.

The oral cancer treatment of choice is surgical excision with an organ preservation, if it is possible. Radiation therapy is commonly used as a postoperative treatment. Delivering radiation dose during surgery, defined as intraoperative radiotherapy (IORT), can be very useful especially in case of high risk of recurrence or where gross or macroscopic residual disease are present.

Objective: The role of intraoperative radiation therapy (IORT) in the management of resectable pancreatic cancer (RPC) remains unclear. To date, the application of IORT using a low-energy X-ray source has not been extensively investigated. Therefore, this study was conducted to evaluate the safety and efficacy of IORT using a 50 kV X-ray source in treating RPC.

The aim of our study was to explore the effect of IORT on survival outcome of patients with musculoskeletal malignancy. The prognostic factors of patients with IORT treatment were also identified in this study. The retrospective analysis was conducted based on the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database spanning from 2000 to 2020.
