Summary

This study tested a new way to give radiation therapy during breast cancer surgery (called intraoperative radiotherapy) in 28 women aged 60 or older with early-stage breast cancer.

Researchers measured how well the procedure worked and tracked side effects and cancer return for one year after treatment.
