IOERT (intra-operative electron-beam radiation therapy) provides a more effective way to treat cancer by delivering a targeted radiation dose directly to the tumor site during surgery. Developed in the 1990s, it uses a mobile linear accelerator to give a one-minute radiation boost to the empty tumor bed, eliminating microscopic residual cancer cells immediately. Studies show IOERT provides better results than conventional post-operative radiation therapy. Hospitals that adopt this revolutionary technique early will gain an advantage in cancer treatment.
