A review of guidance on compensatory steps to take due to unscheduled interruptions in patient radiotherapy treatment, due to patient illness, staff illness or machine breakdown.
Interruptions are quite often. Different centres in different literature have quoted from 6 up to 63% of patients experience interruption. To reduce the risk of cancer recurrence, the Medical Physicist needs to calculate and determine compensatory action in dose, number of fraction or other action required.

Experience more than a century
IORT uses a high single-fraction radiation dose (10-30 Gy) is delivered during surgery to a surgically-exposed tumour bed, immediately after a chunk of the tumour has been surgically excised. This slide includes topics like APBI, IOERT, IOHDR.
