Precision Breast IORT
Since 2014, an interdisciplinary UVA team has pioneered a new radiation technique called Precision Breast IORT, which allows doctors to better target cancer cells while avoiding damage to healthy tissue. Phase II is underway, and researchers study radiation impact on the immune system and how IORT compares to other radiation options.
