%X Intraoperative radiation therapy (IORT) as a form of accelerated partial breast irradiation (APBI) is controversial given the limited evidence to support its efficacy. However, it remains an attractive option for low-risk patients with ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), who derive a small absolute benefit in local control with standard whole breast irradiation (WBI).
