Is your patient a candidate for Intrabeam?
Intrabeam technology (also referred to as intraoperative radiation therapy, or IORT) is a single-dose radiation treatment delivered in the operating room immediately following a partial mastectomy/lumpectomy. An ideal candidate for Intrabeam is typically:
- A woman 50 and over
- Whose tumor is three centimeters in size (just over an inch) or smaller
- Non-lobular and both estrogen- and progesterone-positive
We’re here to help your patients stay safe and beat breast cancer.
We’ve taken extra precautions to continue providing compassionate, research-inspired care in a safe environment.
-
