Loyola's Intraoperative Radiation Therapy for Breast Cancer

Loyola Medicine is among the select centers with the multidisciplinary expertise to offer patients with a broad range of cancers a leading-edge radiation treatment called intraoperative radiation therapy (IORT), which is delivered during surgery. After the tumor is removed, a concentrated dose of radiation is delivered to the tumor bed. Higher doses can be safely given because doctors can move or shield healthy organs to protect them from the radiation. Loyola offers IORT for multiple cancers, including breast, gynecological, head and neck, pancreatic, colorectal, brain and bone cancer.
