Intraoperative radiation therapy INTRABEAM

The INTRABEAM system is intraoperative radiation therapy (IORT) performed directly on the operating table with direct access to the tumor site.

Which types of cancer can be treated with the INTRABEAM system?

• Breast cancer
• Ovarian cancer
• Cervical cancer
• Colon cancer
• Pancreatic cancer

According to statistics, breast cancer recurrences after traditional surgery occur in 40—60 percent of cases, whereas after combined treatment with IORT, the probability of recurrence decreases to 2 percent.

Peculiarities of the procedure in world clinics

According to data from Israeli clinics, the use of INTRABEAM can completely replace a month-long course of postoperative radiation therapy.

In addition to treatment effectiveness, the IORT procedure minimizes the negative impact of radiation on healthy tissues thanks to a narrowly directed beam.

In advanced stages of cancer, the method can be used in combination with targeted therapy and is safe for subsequent irradiation.
