The idea of linac- based intraoperative radiotherapy with electrons (IOERT) is the delivery of a single high dose to a zone at highest contamination with subclinical tumor cells. The European Group of the International Socoitey of intraoperative Radiotherapy (ISIORT) performed a pooled outcome analysis among those institutions where intra- and postoperative radiation treatment was comparable in techniques, sequencing and dosage. Patients and Methods: From 10/98 until 05/05, IOERT was pe…
