“…A bibliometric analysis [ 23 ] of PubMed available publications in the period 1997–2013 using science citation index impact factor as a quality indicator showed 972 papers on intraoperative irradiation topics, 41% in surgical journals, being cancer clinical outcome the most frequently published primary topic ( n = 661, 68%; p < 0.001). The median impact factor significantly improved with time: 2.396 in the period 1997–2001 to 3.798 in 2007–2012 ( p = 0.006).…”

Intraoperative irradiation was implemented 4 decades ago, pioneering the efforts to improve precision in local cancer therapy by combining real-time surgical exploration/resection with high single dose radiotherapy (Gunderson et al., Intraoperative irradiation: techniques and results, 2011). Clinical and technical developments have led to very precise radiation dose deposit. The ability to deliver a very precise dose of radiation is an essential element of contemporary multidisciplinary individualized oncology.This issue of Radiation Oncology contains a collection of expert review articles and updates with relevant data regarding intraoperative radiotherapy. Technology, physics, biology of single dose and clinical results in a variety of cancer sites and histologies are described and analyzed. The state of the art for advanced cancer care through medical innovation opens a significant opportunity for individualize cancer management across a broad spectrum of clinical practice. The advantage for tailoring diagnostic and treatment decisions in an individualized fashion will translate into precise medical treatment.

“…The understanding of the underlying biology, optimal technical procedures, patient selection criteria, and imaging changes during follow-up has increased enormously. After the completion of several phase III trials with long-term follow-up [39], APBI is currently increasingly used either in phase IV studies, in registries, or in selected patients in routine clinical practice outside of clinical studies [40,41]. One may expect that 15-25% of the patients undergoing BCS may qualify for APBI alone, and up to 60% for APBI as a boost followed by WBRT [9].…”

Accelerated Partial Breast Irradiation in Clinical Practice

Accelerated partial breast irradiation (APBI) has been under clinical investigation for more than 15 years. There are several technical approaches that are clinically established, e.g. brachytherapy, intraoperative radiotherapy (IORT), or external-beam radiotherapy. The understanding of the underlying biology, optimal technical procedures, patient selection criteria, and imaging changes during follow-up has increased enormously. After completion of several phase III trials using brachytherapy or IORT, APBI is currently increasingly used either in phase IV studies, registries, or in selected patients outside of clinical studies. Consensus statements about suitable patients are available from several international and national societies like ASTRO, ESTRO, and DEGRO. One may expect that 15-25% of patients undergoing breast-conserving surgery may qualify for APBI, i.e. patients with small invasive ductal breast cancer without clinical lymph node involvement.

“…Previous bibliometric and scientometric reports indicated a considerable growth in male infertility research ( Baskaran et al, 2019 ; Makkizadeh and Bigdeloo, 2019 ; Agarwal et al, 2021 ; Baskaran et al, 2021 ). Similarly, other bibliometric studies quantitatively analyzed global radiotherapy research and intraoperative radiotherapy ( Sole et al, 2014 ; Aggarwal et al, 2018 ). With steady increase in cancer cases, radiotherapy has become one of the most reliable therapeutic interventions across the world.…”

Radiotherapy, a popular cancer management procedure, negatively impacts reproductive health particularly by reducing the fertility potential. The purpose of this study was to analyze the research trend in radiotherapy associated with male infertility over the past 20 years (2000-May 2021). SCOPUS database was used to retrieve relevant scientometric data (publication per year, affiliation, journals, countries, type of document and area of research) for different subgenres of radiotherapy and male infertility. A total of 275 articles were published related to radiotherapy and male infertility, with the United States being the most dominant country in research output in this field. Radiotherapy and male infertility research have shown positive growth over the last two decades. In-depth analysis revealed that publications (n) related to radiotherapy and male infertility research mainly focused its impact on semen parameters (n = 155) and fertility preservation techniques (n = 169). Our scientometric results highlight a limited research focus on the field of radiotherapy and its impact on male reproductive hormones. Furthermore, a significant lack of research was noticed in the area of omics and male reproductive organs linked to radiotherapy. Substantial research is warranted to further decipher the effect of radiotherapy, at molecular level, leading to male infertility.

Bibliometrics of intraoperative radiotherapy

Abstract: We identified a consistent and sustained scientific productivity of international IORT expert groups. Most publications appeared in journals with surgical and radiooncological content. The highest impact factor was achieved by medical oncology journals.
