“Early results from our research suggest that this short course of full dose radiation in a single treatment offers a low rate of local failure and a high rate of excellent cosmesis for properly selected patients. We are happy to report that 100% of patients were very pleased with the treatment experience and treatment outcome on follow up visits,” said Dr. Proulx. “I am very encouraged by the early results of our research that indicate improved quality of life for patients eligible for IORT by greatly reducing the number of treatments patients receive when compared to EBRT.”
