Intraoperative radiation therapy (IORT) is a specialised technique in which a single, concentrated dose of radiation is delivered directly to the tumour bed during cancer surgery, while the patient is still under anaesthesia. Rather than spreading radiation over many weeks of external sessions, IORT targets the exposed area at the precise moment it is most accessible — allowing nearby healthy organs to be physically moved aside or shielded before the dose is applied. It is used in carefully selected patients with breast, colorectal, pancreatic, soft-tissue sarcoma, or gynaecologic cancers, either as a focused boost alongside external radiation or, in some early-stage breast cancers, as the sole radiation treatment. The radiation delivery itself takes around ten to thirty minutes, adding a modest amount of time to the overall operation. IORT is available only at specialised centres with trained multidisciplinary teams and the required equipment.
