Intraoperative Radiotherapy for Breast Cancer

Breast cancer treatments often involve a combination of radiation, surgery, chemotherapy, hormone therapy or targeted therapy. Radiation therapy for breast cancer can entail a number of visits, over a number of weeks. But what if I was to say, for suitable cases one targeted dose of radiotherapy can now be delivered directly into the breast, at the time a person is undergoing breast cancer surgery. Today on Meditalk we speak with Professor Saunders a Breast Cancer Surgeon from St John of God Hospital in Subiaco about Intraoperative Radiotherapy.
