Abstract
Intraoperative radiation therapy (IORT) is a modern oncological treatment, utilizing radiotherapy and surgery at the same time. The idea to administer radiation to internal structures was first published by Carl Beck, a Berlin surgeon, in 1908 in a paper entitled “On external Roentgen treatment of internal structures (eventration treatment)” [1].
