Developments in breast cancer diagnosis by radiation oncologist expert

Newswise Oct 20, 2019

Intraoperative radiotherapy (IORT) is a state-of-the-art technology that allows patients to get treated in one single radiation therapy session—a notable advantage over the many multiple visits required prior to IORT. Patients are afforded other advantages because of the single session IORT treatment. Preservation of more healthy tissue and reduced side effects from the radiation are benefits many patients experience.

Maria C.E. Jacobs, MD, leads the Radiation Oncology team at Mercy Medical Center in Baltimore, MD. Dr. Jacobs and Dr. Neil Friedman, Medical Director at The Breast Center, were the first team of doctors in the state of Maryland to use IORT.

Dr. Jacobs and her team of radiation oncology specialists also use TrueBeam™ technology for the delivery of targeted radiation. This safe, faster, more precise cancer treatment option represents an immense leap forward in the speed and accuracy in which the radiation can be delivered. Dr. Jacobs sees this as a decided advantage for most patients. Cancer cells are attacked by an aggressive beam of radiation while minimizing the impact on surrounding tissue.
