[Peroperative radiotherapy].
Tolerance of normal tissues limits the radiation dose which can be safely delivered to tumors especially for gastro-intestinal cancers. Intraoperative radiotherapy is a specialized technique for treating infradiaphragmatic and deeply located tumors allowing to deliver a high dose to the tumor while avoiding surrounding normal tissues which can be moved aside. The authors describe the technique and review indications and possibilities.
