Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Quality Control Registry for IORT used as an anticipiated boost with 20 Gy at the applicator surface followed by EBRT

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Quality Control Registry of a standard treatment with intraoperative radiotherapy during breast conserving surgery with 20 Gy at the applicator surface as an advanced boost followed by a shortened external beam radiotherapy. This is a prospective phase IV study to evaluate real life data of IORT Boost. Study runs in Germany with 13 active centers recruiting. Due to the nature of the study (registry) there is no need for randomization. Inclusion of n = \>1000 patients is planned.
