Explore an innovative approach to breast cancer treatment. The Xoft System uses a miniaturized x-ray source to deliver a precise, concentrated dose of radiation directly to the tumor site, while minimizing risk of damage to healthy tissue in nearby areas of the body. For the treatment of early-stage breast cancer, intraoperative radiation therapy (IORT) with the Xoft System allows appropriately selected patients to potentially replace four to six weeks of post-operative external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) with a single-fraction of radiation that can last as little as eight minutes. Join us for a free webinar to learn how IORT has optimized Dr. Grumley’s workflow and how targeted radiation therapy is emerging as a way to minimize COVID-19 exposure to patients and clinicians, while preserving high quality care.
