BALTIMORE - IORT allows patients to receive therapy with the same power and precision as the most advanced technology on the market, at the same time as their surgery, without having to spend time going back and forth to the hospital for radiation treatments, and with few to no side effects.
Helen Crosskey underwent this procedure at Cancer Treatment Centers of America after being diagnosed with breast cancer.
She joined Megan and Charley on Good Morning Maryland at Nine, reporting that the procedure was a key contributor to her being cancer-free today.
