 #Researchers said people who received the shorter treatment were also less likely to die of other cancers and heart disease in the following five years. But cancer specialists have raised concerns about the study's methodology. Targeted #Intraoperative Radiotherapy (TARGIT-IORT) involves a single, targeted dose of radiation inside the breast, immediately after the tumour is removed.

This type of #radiotherapy, developed by doctors at University College London (UCL), is delivered using a small device placed inside the #breast, directly on the site of the cancer. It means #patients can receive radiation treatment at the same time as their operation to have their #cancer removed.
