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.

Background: Intraoperative radiotherapy (IORT) is considered a de-escalating adjuvant treatment for breast cancer low-risk patients. However, the broader criteria applied by the Taiwan IORT Study Cooperative Group led to an increased rate of locoregional recurrence (LRR) among patients receiving only IORT. Consequently, we revised the criteria for sole IORT treatment to include patients who meet the American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO) eligibility standards.

Background: Patients with locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC) treated with surgery have a high risk of local recurrence. Intraoperative radiotherapy (IORT) is a promising method for treating locally advanced solid tumors, but there is limited research on the efficacy of IORT in treating LARC. This study aimed to evaluate the long-term efficacy of low-kV X-ray IORT in the treatment of LARC.

Background: Intraoperative radiotherapy (IORT) is a convenient treatment techniques for patients with early-stage breast cancer. We aimed to compare the outcome of IORT to that of whole-breast external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) in highly selected breast cancer patients based on the 2023 American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO) Clinical Practice Guideline for Partial Breast Irradiation (PBI).
Patients And Methods: We reviewed patients who underwent breast-conserving surgery (BCS) and received either IORT or EBRT for early-stage breast cancer between 2014 and 2019.

Background: The role of intraoperative radiotherapy (IORT) for adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction (AEG) remains uncertain. Therefore, a prospective phase 1 trial was conducted to assess the safety and feasibility of IORT for locally advanced AEG.
Methods: The study enrolled patients with AEG at stages II-IVA from January 2019 to September 2019.
