Summary/Conclusion
In all risk groups, a 10 Gy IOERT boost prior to WBI provided outstanding local control rates, comparing favorably to all trials with similar length of follow-up.

Summary/Conclusion
Results from our study and review of the literature support the idea that IOERT is indeed a powerful tool in sterilizing local margins and improving local control and therefore disease-associated mortality.

Ashman JB, et al. “Preoperative chemoradiation and IOERT for unresectable or borderline resectable pancreas cancer” (2013)
Summary/Conclusion
Long term survival and disease control are achievable in select patients with borderline resectable or locally unresectable pancreas cancer when gross total surgical resection is achieved after preopCRT. Improvements in imaging continue to allow better selection of patients in whom gross total resection alone or plus IOERT may be feasible after preoperative treatment for initially unresectable or borderline resectable pancreas cancers.

Summary/Conclusion
IOERT boost during surgery not only enables good local control without geometric miss of the tumor, but also delivers good cosmetic effect after therapy.
