Abstract
IORT is a promising tool for improving cancer treatment in patients with tumors that cannot be locally controlled by conventional surgery or radiotherapy. Results of clinical trials in progress should clarify its clinical merits and limitations in the treatment of locally advanced gastric, pancreatic, and retroperitoneal tumors. Principles and techniques are discussed.Keywords
