The IntraOp® Mobetron® Electron IORT system is a breakthrough technology in delivering intraoperative radiation therapy to cancer patients during surgery. It has a proven history in treating multiple indications with fewer side effects and lower recurrence rates. In pre-clinical investigations, FLASH radiotherapy has demonstrated several biological benefits and an improved therapeutic index by producing a protective effect for normal tissue. This emerging therapy has the potential to expand and improve patient cancer treatments.
"CHUM is excited about IntraOp's FLASH HDR technology and how it will help us with cancer care breakthroughs. The system is ideal for our patients and our hospital. We saw an opportunity to acquire leading-edge electron IORT technology to expand patient treatments in breast, pancreas, head, neck, colorectal, gynecological and other cancers and serve a dual purpose for advancing our research in FLASH radiotherapy," said Dr. David Roberge, MD, Head of Radiation Oncology of CHUM.
"We congratulate the CHUM on the first IntraOp electron radiotherapy system in Montreal, Canada. We are excited to support the CHUM on expanding electron IORT treatments to patients and look forward to working with Dr. Roberge and the team on research advancements in FLASH radiotherapy with electrons," said Derek T.
